Analyze global economics, international trade, investments, and corporate finance to make stronger business and investment decisions.
Build practical skills in geopolitical risk, private markets, corporate governance, capital allocation, WACC, capital structure, and leverage analysis.
This Specialization develops an integrated framework for understanding how global economic forces connect with investment opportunities and corporate financial decisions. You will analyze international trade, comparative advantage, geopolitical risk, trade restrictions, agreements, and cross-border economic relationships before evaluating alternative investments and private-market opportunities.
You will then examine corporate structures, governance, ESG considerations, business models, pricing strategies, competitive forces, and business risk. Finally, you will apply capital allocation, NPV, real options, cost of capital, WACC, capital structure, and leverage frameworks to evaluate investment and financing decisions.
Designed for learners pursuing finance, investment analysis, corporate strategy, banking, consulting, or private-market roles, the Specialization emphasizes structured analysis and practical decision-making across interconnected global and corporate finance environments.
