This course focuses on the investment and financing decisions of financial managers in the framework of identifying and undertaking business opportunities that maximize the value of the enterprise. This course emphasizes one of the vital functions of the financial manager which is incorporating social responsibility with the objective to maximize shareholder wealth. This is elaborated with examples in the context of "bad social responsibility" and "good social responsibility" to maximize the value of the company for the shareholders. The objective is to develop an appreciation of the interplay of expected returns and risk in determining the value contribution of business activities and in the pricing of financial instruments.

The objective of this course is to provide students with awareness and deeper understanding of, and sensitivity to, global issues that may influence our world as well as the business environment over the next decade or two. A better and more descriptive title for this course could be “What are some of the issues you should understand more thoroughly about our world if you want to be a successful business leader in the future.” We will discuss some of the challenges and problems that the global community faces at the present time in order to understand why these issues and problems are important, who is affected by these problems, alternatives to address them, and why a business manager should be aware of, and involved in, the discussion of these issues. While our focus is primarily on economic issues, social and political ramifications of economic developments are well within the scope of this course. The course is premised on the dual, and sometimes conflicting, role that we play as business managers and citizens of the world. This is not a managerial course in the sense that we will not discuss managerial strategies to address these issues.
Course involves the following topics: challenges of global development, income inequality around the world, corruption, financial instability inherent in the current global financial architecture, economics of climate change, changing demographics in the industrialized countries, food crisis facing the world, challenges of globalization including the emerging anomaly of “economic stability and political instability”, achieving sustainable economic growth, consequences of protectionist policies and trade subsidies.
