Prof. Anna Menozzi

Educational aims

Recent financial markets and real economy trends have changed the competition rules and led to a deep financial reorganization, aimed, among other things, to pay greater attention to shareholders. Development implies value creation, that is, a process of growth in which the return of any investment is greater than its opportunity cost. This course in corporate finance focuses on the “internal growth” process a firm may realize through industrial investments. Firms must decide on the specific investments they will undertake (capital budgeting) and on the resources they may rely on (financing decisions). The last part of the course is devoted to the project management techniques.

Firm: real and financial aspects, what’s “value”, cash flows, industrial investment evaluation techniques, cost of capital, capital structure and project value, operational aspects related to the investment decisions, project management
