Lectures

This paper is organised as a lecture, but throughout the course special emphasis is put on discussion and interaction with the students as well as exercises and case studies. Using key questions, examples and exercises shall help the students to understand the learning material in a varied and application-oriented way.

Teaching and Learning Approach

I aspire to see you all learn and want to learn more. I trust and believe that learning becomes easier if your desire to learn is strong. Well begun is half done. Therefore, active participation during class and rework is a crucial part of the teaching and learning concept and good preparation for the final examination at the end of the semester. Therefore students will receive the opportunity for an “Active Contribution” to the course.

Tutorial Sessions

All students should participate one hour tutorial. Tutorials start in the second week of the semester.

Class Room Decorum

As a courtesy to others, students are strongly urged not to disrupt lecture sessions by using mobile phones and cross chatting during these sessions. Students are advised to disable their mobile phones during lectures.

There is a significant interrelationship between finance and non-finance areas. First, finance and accounting are related since accounting information is needed for finance decision. Second, finance and economics are related because economic activity and policy affect finance decisions, and vice versa. Finance and management are related because the management decisions, such as setting salary, hiring new staff and paying bonus must be coordinated with finance. Finance and information system are related because finance decisions rely on information. Last but not least, there are four ps of marketing, product, price, place and promotion. Clearly, the price and promotion, e.g., advisement are related to finance.
