      Professor Becker-Blease will be discussing the recently
      revamped core MBA Finance Course at WSU, Vancouver. This
      new course covers a traditional slate of topics present in
      most corporate finance courses and also formally introduces
      students to the stakeholder and shareholder primacy models
      of the corporate objective function. Additionally, it
      demonstrates how understanding each of these perspectives
      can improve managers' effectiveness as decision-makers. The
      course, "Problems in Financial Management" is a piece of
      the innovative work being done as part of Aspen Institute
      CBE's Corporate Governance and Accountability Project. See:
