GBPSupportandRecords@scu.edu (Academic Support and Records) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:43:10 PST

FNCE 696: Behavioral Corporate Finance
Behavioral traps represent one of the most important obstacles to the successful implementation of the skills taught in traditional corporate finance courses. When it comes to improving the financial decision process, understanding these traps is absolutely essential. This course identifies the key psychological obstacles to value maximizing behavior, along with steps that managers can take to mitigate the effects of these obstacles. The objective of the course is to help students learn how to put the traditional tools of corporate finance to their best use, and mitigate the effects of psychological obstacles that reduce value.
Prerequisites: FNCE 451 and FNCE 455

IDIS 696: Social Benefit Entrepreneurship
Social benefit entrepreneurship is the creation of innovative ventures that produce a social benefit. These ventures typically innovate to produce products and/or services that help alleviate important social problems, such as economic development (poverty), health, equality, education, and environment. This course will introduce students to social benefit entrepreneurship through readings, analysis of case studies, and participation in the assessment of business plans for existing social benefit ventures. The emphasis of the course will be on understanding management techniques for maximizing the financial sustainability and scalability of an SBE.
Prerequisites: MKTG 551 and ACTG 300 OR ACTG 301 OR FNCE 451. Prerequisites may be waived by permission of the instructor.

MKTG 696: Business to Business Marketing
Business-to-Business (B2B) Marketing encompasses those management activities that enable a supplier firm to understand, create, and deliver value to other businesses, governments, or institutional customers. In the context of these business markets, value refers to the economic, technical, service, and social benefits a customer firm may receive for buying the market offering. Using core readings and in-depth case analysis, the course will introduce and apply the guiding principles of B2B Marketing, which include using value as the cornerstone for decision-making, focusing on business processes and the business as a "buying center" with the various roles of participants, stressing business across borders, and accentuating working relationships and business networks. Through this course, students will also develop critical analytical and problem solving skills for a variety of business marketing situations.
Prerequisites: MKTG 551 and MTKG 553
