Rationale for Module |
Managers operating in a global competitive context
need an understanding of the principles and tools of financial
management. Managers learn very much from their experience, but in a
rapidly changing environment they need to respond rationally to change.
Therefore, they need to understand why they should behave like
economists recommend them to do. In other words, they need a theoretical
basis for their financing and investment decisions. The explosion of
capital markets and their increasing globalisation has produced new
financial products and the need for a more rigorous understanding of
existing instruments such as bonds, equities and derivatives. Although the module has no formal prerequisites, it has a close relationship to the Level 2 management modules ‘Financial Management, Reporting & Taxation’ and ‘International Trade Operations’. It is directed at students with an affinity for and interest in the financial aspects of business. |
