Course Objective: The
objective of the course is to introduce students to the basic questions facing
a financial manager and the tools a financial manager uses to find answers to
these questions. The course will introduce the basic tools of financial and
applications of financial theory in use today. Students will be introduced to
legal, ethical, technological, and global issues facing a financial manager.
The course is designed to enhance a students approach to financial
decision-making and emphasizes technical analysis and
