1-1 Discussion: Financial Management's Role in Business

Whether you are pursuing a career in finance or not, understanding the importance of financial principles, interpreting financial reports, and understanding their role in business will help you to be successful. Financial management requires much more than analyzing accounting records, and it is important to note how financial data and calculations are used to support an organization's work, finances, and decision-making.

In this discussion, you will introduce yourself to the class, reflect on your view of finance, and share related experiences.

In your initial discussion post, specifically address the following:

·         Please tell the class about yourself and your educational or professional background.

·         Have you ever used financial documents (such as tax returns, financial statements, etc.) to make a personal or business decision? Explain.

·         What terms or concepts come to mind when you think about finance?

·         What concerns or excites you about the course?

In your response posts to at least two peers, consider the following:

·         Review your peers' posts and find posts that express different perspectives from your own. How do your perspectives differ?

·         What advice, resources, or encouragement would you offer to your peers to help them succeed in the course? Be mindful and respectful of your responses, particularly if you are responding to someone who is apprehensive about the course.
