The purpose of this course is to give the student of management the opportunity to study and analyze the history of the evolution of Canadian industries (and some of Canada's leading corporations) as well as the emergence of the professional manager. The student should gain a deeper understanding of the roots of Canadian business, but more importantly, be able to understand and appreciate the complex internal and external forces which must be considered today when making critical business decisions. The course will be of interest to students who plan to follow a career in management as either a practitioner or a consultant and to those who will need to be able to do a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the financial and managerial performance of the modern firm.

This course gives students the opportunity of consulting for owners, managers and staff of small and medium-sized businesses as well as professionals from not-for-profit and public organizations. Students work in consulting teams to resolve real-life management challenges or to implement business innovations. Classes are highly interactive and combine consulting-specific course materials, guest speakers, roundtable discussions and brainstorming sessions. Since this course is both project-and-client based, it is very rewarding, but demanding. Students with previous experience in managing projects, who enjoy interacting with business people, who thrive in fluid and ever-changing project cultures, who value the importance of fostering innovative or creative environments, or who are considering a career in consulting, are strongly encouraged to apply.

317 Auditing
Professor: Pamela Murphy Winter Term
The course begins with an examination of the factors affecting the demand for assurance including the concepts of independence and objectivity. We then introduce the business risk audit, the general approach used by the Big Four international accounting firms. This model lends itself to in-depth examination of such key issues as knowledge of the clients business, analyzing business processes and management controls and application of analytical procedures. This course is one of the Canadian Institute for Chartered Accountants Education Requirements. Students loved the professors passion for the subject and the in-class group assignments. Some advice to succeed would be to prepare all the cases before class.

The importance of considering taxes in business decision-making has long been recognized. Only since the 1990s, however, did the joint application of tax planning and business management begin to achieve the level of an integrated discipline with its own assumptions, theories, and methods. Managerial Tax Planning integrates tax planning with the theory and practice of management in a coherent framework.

This course explores derivative securities and their applications as risk management and yield enhancement tools for financial institutions and non-financial corporations. We develop the key relationships of derivatives and valuation (the cost-of-carry model, risk neutral valuations, binomial trees, and the Black-Scholes model). We extend the option-pricing framework to the valuation of real options. We analyze standard derivative instruments (futures, forwards, FRA's, swaps, stock options) as well as more recent ones such as exotic options and credit derivatives. This course is designed for students aiming to pursue a career in investment banking, consulting, or in the non-finance corporate sector.

This course is meant to provide an introduction to the system of civil law in Canada and specifically the two general areas of law that fundamentally affect business affairs in Canada. They are, respectively, the law of tort and the law of contract - the two cornerstones of civil or private law. The basic objective of this course is to familiarize students with the Canadian civil law system and the fundamental concepts of tort law and contract law. More particularly, this course will try to illustrate how these concepts are relevant in the business world: how legal problems can be identified and either prevented, or at least analyzed at a fundamental level.
