BDIC3009J International Financial manage

Academic Year 2021/2022

As the international company becomes the norm rather than the exception, the need to internationalize the tools of financial analysis is apparent. We live in a highly integrated world economy, and it is critical that businesses understand both the risks and opportunities that globalization brings. This module is about multinational management, and more specifically, the financial management dimensions of leading a multinational corporation (MNC). Financial managers must be able to assess the international environment, recognize opportunities, implement strategies, assess exposure to risk, and manage that risk. In this module we examine exchange rate systems and their determination, international sources of finance for firms, and discuss the best approaches to managing exchange rate risk. Consequently, derivatives and hedging techniques are examined and, inter alia, we study international flow of funds, multinational capital budgeting and multinational capital structure.
