Learning Goals of the Course The course exposes students to some of the most fundamental issues in corporate finance today as well as the important advances in corporate finance thinking of the last decade. It intends to offer students a unique case setting to understand how concepts and theories of corporate finance are applied in real world, and generate lasting impact on firm value. As the course title suggests, this course will be taught using a case-oriented approach. On average, we will spend two 3-hour sessions on each topic – the first session will usually be used by the instructor to give students background knowledge of the issues to be examined; the second session will be used for case presentations and discussions. After taking the course, the students should have a competitive edge over others in analyzing corporate finance related issues logically, and presenting results in a more compelling way. It’s a fun course but it is also very fast-paced and demanding! Textbook and Readings 1. There is no formal textbook for this course. But the bulk of background knowledge can be found in Valuation by McKisney & Company, T. Koller, M. Goedhart, and D. Wessels, John Wiley & Sons, 4th Edition, 2005, or in another popular textbook Co
