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. Day one concentrates on the financial markets and the sources of funding available to business. The second day investigates decisions and risk management together with mergers and acquisitions. Throughout the two days, the content is illustrated with recent reports in the financial press enabling delegates to relate the theory to the business world. introduction to corporate finance speakers: Tudor Spencer and Mike Bromberg date: 21/22 Nov course fee: £650.00 + VAT (£763.75) includes buffet lunch and refreshments. http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=tr297 finance and budgeting for non-financial managers Library and information managers are increasingly expected to manage complex financial resources; to develop and interpret budgets and financial statements; to make a case for financial resources and also to negotiate value-for-money contracts with their suppliers.
