Content

This course deals with issues related to the financing of corporates as well as the maximization of their value. In this respect, particular emphasis will be given to the venture capital dynamics and the financing of innovation. Investments aimed at increasing the firm value (e.g. M&A or IPOs) will also be discussed thoroughly.

Assessment method

A written exam will be organised in June and in August. A case report, for the part devoted to the venture capital analysis, is due that represents 20% of the final grade (see Webcampus for details).
