Description
The course will focus on the problems facing a financial manager of a large firm. In particular, we will examine how to obtain adequate funds to allow a firm to operate, and how to decide on the optimal allocation of funds obtained by the firm.
To obtain funds, the financial manager must participate in markets for debt and equity securities, so we will discuss how these markets work and how they can be most efficiently used by the firm. In allocating funds, we will learn how to assess the economic benefits of long-lived projects and how to make optional choices between projects. We will also spend time developing basic financial tools that will assist us in the decision-making process.

Becoming a Manager - Coaching Program
Description
This workshop is designed to tailor coaching for students and the development of their personal leadership skills and impactfulness. It will give them a clear picture of their skill level as a manager and of their development priorities. The coaching program will assist in their reflection process.
This workshop is for MBA students with or without management experience. The workshop focuses on fundamental notions of mastering and taking ownership of the manager profession. Students will learn to become more conscious of their own management practices, styles, beliefs, and management values . Awareness will be built in class with every-day actions through self-assessment and reflection on students' behaviours. Managing in a post-pandemic world requires managers to revise their conception of work to be more human centred, to manage with more empathy for employees, and to revisit notions of control, delegation, and authority. Students can receive tailored coaching that is geared toward mastering and taking ownership of the manager profession and that goes beyond what can be achieved in the classroom.
Themes covered
Management philosophy/beliefs/style/practices
Going from technical expert to manager
Leadership authority and management roles: First level managers middle managers executives and CEO; boards of directors and governance
Decision making
Moving from more ''traditional'' management to ''post-pandemic'' management
Reflexivity identity and self-management
Defining coaching as a catalyzing relationship
Manager development and incorporating knowledge into actions

Behavioral Economics and Finance
Description
This course aims to cover recent developments in the understanding of economic behavior with applications in savings, insurance and pensions.
Departures from the expected utility framework and traditional discounting have been shown to better match observed behavior in many situations. Whether it is loss and ambiguity aversion, present-bias and temptation, or general biases in perceptions of risk and choice situations, these deviations from the standard framework have profound implications for how firms should design products and contracts and how governments regulate and design markets and programs. The course aims to apply concepts to different settings including saving and debt management, the purchase of insurance for various late-life risks faced by agents (e.g. health expenses, disability, longevity, income) reviewing the empirical and modelling literature in each of these settings.
Themes covered
1. Prospect Theory and Decision under Risk
2. Literacy Cognitive Skills and Perception Biases
3. Present-Bias and Temptation (Emotions)
4. Behavioral Welfare Analysis
5. Applications: Personal and Mandatory Savings
6. Applications: Private and Social Insurance
7. Applications: Health Insurance

Business Analytics
Description
Provide with the bases of business analytics and illustrate its concepts on practical management situations. Use of cases concerning several aspects of management, for example, in economics, finance, human resources, marketing, and operations management and logistics.
We live in a time when managers are asked to do more with less. In many situations it is possible to represent the impact of a decision with the help of mathematical expressions to evaluate its consequences. In addition, computer advances make it possible (in many cases) to quickly identify simultaneous decisions to optimize one or more criteria (e.g., expected benefits and environmental performances) while respecting management constraints. For that, one needs to be able to formalize the decision problem in a mathematical form and to solve it efficiently.
Themes covered
1. Introduction to Decision Support
2. Decision using Linear Programming
3. Decision in a Network Context
4. Making Discrete Choices
5. Taking into Account Non-Proportional Relationships
6. Taking into Account Multiple Decision Criteria

Description
Introduction to the functioning and limits of markets. Strategic decision-making process, considering the economic environment in which the firm operates, including international trade, government interventions, market structures as well as the economic and financial situation.
This course covers all the concepts required to better understand constraints, opportunities and risks from the firm's internal and external points of view. The course focuses on developing a comprehensive strategic vision and contextually optimal decisions.
