> corporate finance:  introduction to information concepts and techniques
> 
> speakers:  Chris Murphy, Desmond Crone, MarySusan Barry
> 
> This two day course is for researchers working directly within corporate
> finance - and those employed in other sectors who need a sound grasp of
> how companies are financed and the stock market works. Corporate finance
> presents particular difficulties for the researcher in terms of the sheer
> range of topics it embraces, the complexity of much of its subject matter
> and the extensive use of jargon by practitioners. The course views
> information sources and business research methods from the specialised
> perspective of the corporate financier or company finance director. Our
> central themes are: 'why is this information being requested?' and 'what
> will it be used for?'
> 
> Fee: £650 + VAT
