Part One 

In reviewing the Terminal courses objectives, such as Foreign Exchange Risk, International Monetary Systems, capital budgeting, and Adjustment Risk, I must admit that I am unaware of the information that would make for successful management.  I suppose the many risks or challenges managers may face if not privy to the things that come along with Global Financial Management are the inability to make financial decisions and navigate the challenges of the global economy.  

Part Two

My understanding of WTO and G8 (only because I recently researched) is that the World Trade Organization deals with the rules of trade between nations. Founded in January 1995, this organization mainly deals with goods and services trade and is the largest reform of international trade (World Trade, Organization, 2022).  In the Group of Eight (G8), eight highly industrialized nations meet annually to foster consensus on global issues such as economic growth, crisis management, global security, energy, and terrorism. They include France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Russia (Laub, 2014). I'm learning that both the WTO and G8 ensure a smooth, predictable, and free flow of trade. However, that's just half of the story. It has long been known that the WTO is unfair to poor countries' governments and favors rich nations.

Part Three

Now than ever, it's imperative to understand the international monetary system because every day creates an opportunity for the business world to expand outside of a restricted segment. Without a thorough understanding of the rules, insistences that facilitate international trade, and general differences between nations' currencies, global business is not possible.

Global Financial Management: FIN630

Unit 1 Discussion Board – Part 1

            After reading the course objectives, I would have to say that understanding and accomplishing them will support my success in management in many of ways.  The first being to get a better understanding of global finance in general.  Achieved my bachelor’s from AIU in Business Admin over 10 years ago so it has been quite a while since covering any material in the subject.  Feeling like I have a lot to learn.  I’m looking forward to learning more about the three types of exposure: transaction, economic, and translation (McGraw Hill, page 211). 

            The subject of exposure reminds me of the movie “The Big Short,” from the year 2015.  That’s when it really started making sense to me.  That’s when I fully understand exposure, and how big of a disadvantage the banks put themselves in for approving risky sub-prime loans that eventually went into default due to adjusting mortgage rates.   When the interest rates adjusted up the home owner could no longer afford to make the mortgage payment and defaulted on the loans, most losing their property back to the banks. The movie goes on to show how the federal government bailed out all the banks anyway.  It was basically about the 2008 housing market crash her in the United States.  

Understanding all of these types of risks will assist in better decision making in my career by being more well rounded in the subject of global finance.  It puts you in a better position to even be able to hold a conversation with some regarding the subject.  If your current job doesn’t require the knowledge, it’s still great to have because the whole goal is to improve yourself and your career.
