This course provides an advanced introduction to short-term corporate financial decision-making in international firms operating in highly competitive and volatile markets. It equips students with the conceptual frameworks and analytical tools needed to manage liquidity and financial risks across borders, with a specific focus on working capital policy, cash and liquidity management, and the design and use of financial hedging instruments. Through a problem-solving and case-based approach, the course develops students’ ability to assess and justify corporate financial choices in light of value-creation principles. Particular attention is given to how sound short-term financial management supports operational resilience, profitability, and the financial conditions that underpin corporate sustainability in global business contexts.
