The grading weight on class participation is evidence of the importance placed on coming to class prepared to discuss the cases. As with the real world, the purpose of the cases is to understand issues, not specific answers, and as such, they are somewhat ambiguous. Each project group will undertake a research project involving financial analysis of an issue of relevance to international corporate finance. Other topics may also be considered. No two groups will be allowed to research the same topic.
Issues are to be analyzed in an economically coherent fashion.
This is not a book report, but a professional study of a financial issue. It should include quantitative analysis of relevant data. You can also stop by at other times for short questions. For longer contacts, please call to make an arrangement. My office phone is 663-7731.
