	Corporate Finance Program Report
		Narrowly interpreted, corporate finance is the study of the investment and financing policies of corporations.
		If it is the abnormally low cost of financing that pushes managers to invest, then the investment of equity-dependent firms should be far more sensitive to stock price changes than the investment of firms that are not dependent on equity for financing.

	Corporate finance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corporate finance is a specific area of finance dealing with the financial decisions corporations make and the tools as well as analyses used to make these decisions.
		Short-term corporate finance decisions are called working capital management and deal with the balance of current assets and current liabilities; the focus here is on managing cash, inventories, and short-term borrowing and lending (e.g., the credit terms extended to customers).
		Corporate finance is closely related to managerial finance, which is slightly broader in scope, describing the financial techniques available to all forms of business enterprise, corporate or not.

		A specific definition: "corporate finance" deals with the financial decisions made by corporations, which are made with the goal of maximizing the value of the corporation while minimizing risk.
		Corporate finance and accounting professionals are responsible for managing a business's money—forecasting where it will come from, knowing where it is, and helping its managers decide how to spend it in ways that will ensure the greatest return.
		In the shorter term, the outlook for folks in corporate finance and in-house accounting is getting brighter; after several years during which corporate hiring was quite slow, the economy is picking up, which means more corporate spending, more mergers and acquisitions, and so on—and more work for corporate finance types.

		The discipline as a whole may be divided among long-term and short-term decisions and techniques with the primary goal being the enhancing of corporate value by ensuring that return on capital exceeds cost of capital, without taking excessive financial risks.

		Both investment and financing decisions are tied to financial risk management, including the choice of hedging instruments, so the course will offer guidelines for the measurement and management of interest rate and currency risk and their link to financing choices.
		Ian Giddy is a graduate of the University of Michigan (MBA 1972, PhD 1974) and the University of the Witwatersrand (BSc 1970).

		As behavioral finance, and even earlier, John Maynard Keynes, has demonstrated, investors in financial markets are capable of emotional buys and sells (rather than the sort of consistently rational behavior dreamed of in neoclassical economic theory), panics, and herd behavior.
