This course consists of several video lectures that will be updated over time and based on students' requests, and additional resources. The lectures contain explanations of necessary concepts along with examples and illustrations.

After completing this course, a learner would be able to define finance, recognize the specific areas of business finance, identify the role, tasks, scope, and challenges of a financial manager, recognize the primary goal of financial decision-making, align the shareholders wealth maximization with other stakeholders interests, compare and choose between profit maximization and share price maximization as the primary goal of financial decision-making, and plan the pathway of learning finance.
