Description: Cross-Border Investments builds on critical thinking developed in Core courses such as Strategy, Finance and Ethics. The course examines the strategic rationale and valuation of international investments in various real-world scenarios including corporate acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and public equities. While the primary focus is on fundamental analysis and return on investment, students will also deepen their understanding of the international economy, political risk, corporate governance and other non-financial considerations. The approach is case-oriented and class participation will be a critical determinant of grades. Repeatable for Credit.
