BUS 750 - Topics In Financial Management, 3 credit hours

This course will investigate special topics in financial management such as the lease versus the buy option, bond refunding, mergers, LBOs, divestitures, business failures, activity-based management, and organizational performance. Coverage of topics introduced in earlier financial management courses, e.g., operational and capital budgeting, cost-volume-profit analysis, and working capital management, will be extended. Forecasting, linear programming and simulation techniques from the operations analysis field will be used extensively in this expanded coverage.
