1. PRESENTACIÓN

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the main tools used to study
Corporate Finance issues, such as value companies, as a basic part of Corporate
Finance (investing opportunities, mergers and acquisitions, equity initial public
offerings) and “optimal capital structures”).

Although Corporate Finance covers a wide range of corporate issues, we will focus
on valuation. Other additional contents and financing matters will be developed
during the second part of the subject in the “Advanced Corporate Finance” course.
