Business Model Assessment-Period 2

The course will start with an introduction of business assessment approaches and basic concepts. We will start with an introduction to corporations, and proceed with financial statement analysis, financial decision making, investment decision rules, capital budgeting, and raising equity capital, etc. The focus is on applying concepts and theories to real-life situations during lectures, and providing students with feedback on their exercises and cases in the tutorials. We will explain the basic concepts and theories in the lectures, and apply to relevant exercises and cases in the tutorials. Students need to solve one case in groups of 5 or 6 members, and present their reports in the tutorials.
