Course Name: Corporate Finance

Course abstract

The aim of this course is to equip the learners to understand, appreciate, and employ the corporate finance concepts and applications in the context of managerial decision making. The course participants should be, at the end of the course, able to understand the decisions related to capital budgeting, capital structure, management of working capital, and dividend policy, by way of learning tools and techniques to solve advanced numerical problems of real business situations efficiently. The course shall have four distinct modules, namely investment decisions, financing decisions, working capital management decisions, and payout decisions. Investment decisions aim to help understand the valuation of financial securities, and the role of risk-return relationship in making the capital budgeting decisions. Financing decisions help in determining the right source of capital while keeping shareholders’ interests a priority. Working capital management decisions focus on optimal management of inventory, debtors and receivables, and payables. Finally, payout decisions are related to the issues pertaining to paying dividends or keeping the profits within the business. We shall also consider some other relevant issues as part of our discussion with respect to financial decision making process.

Prof. Abhijeet Chandra

As assistant professor at VGSoM, IIT KGP., I offer courses in Corporate Finance, Investment Management, and Management Accounting to UG, PG, and Doctoral level student. I have done BCom. (H), MCom, and PhD in Accounting and Finance area. I also have completed post-doctoral research in behavioral finance and asset pricing. My major research interests are in financial economics (behavioral finance, asset pricing, and economics of derivatives) and individual decision making under risk and uncertainty (prospect theory, risk preferences, irrationality). I do both theoretical and empirical work and am currently also involved in experimental work. The core issues that I have been working on are the study of behavioral dimension of investment decision-making, from both individual and institutional perspectives, and how it affects the asset prices and market mechanism. My research interests are based on the behaviouralized inquiries related to the emerging research area of behavioral finance which draws its ideas from various disciplines including economics, finance, psychology, sociology and so on.
