ObjectivesThe primary objective of this course is to develop a profound understanding of where ethical issues play a role in finance, how managerial decisions affect the market value of the firm, how market participants and management can influence the behaviors of investors by, for example exploiting corporate finance knowledge. The secondary goal is to provide judgment skills on situations where finance and ethics may conflict. While the theoretical foundation is the prime element of this course, there will be ample and tangible reference to recent developments in the capital markets. ContentsAs Finance Ethics is a field in development, the course is interdisciplinary in nature, structured along the lines of the required literature and discusses individual topics so as to highlight the variety of issues facing the finance and investment community and to create a handle for getting to grips with the topic.
