1.Introduction to the Module and Module Objective The past two decades have witnessed a dramatic transformation of the Indian businesses and financial scene, thanks to liberalization, privatization, globalization, automation and ascendance of the services sector. In the wake of these developments, investment and financing avenues have expanded considerably, competition has intensified in all sectors, institutional investors have become a major force and corporates have grown in size and complexity. Sourcing & Managing Funds (SMF) is the core course that describes the perspective of groups within the firm asked to create firm value by a) deciding how much capital to raise and the best mix of different sources of capital, and b) managing those funds and generating relevant financial information, which includes describing future plans (budgets), evaluating new projects (capital budgeting), and evaluating performance of divisions, managers and products. Some of these functions are housed within the office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), split between the Treasurer and the Controller. But many other functions are spread across the organisation, principally in the hands of strategy groups and product managers. Through this course on SMF, students will get an insight into the issues involved in investment decision and financing of such decision. Therefore, the main focus will be on understanding the techniques of capital budgeting and capital structure decision.
