Introduction to Corporate Finance, James Tompkins

This is the first lecture in my "Corporate Finance" series in which I both introduce myself as well as the structure of the class. The emphasis is on financial principles as it affect firm value with a specific focus on "asset investment" decisions. For example, the decision for Apple to get into the phone business.
