Strategic financial management[1] is the study of finance with a long-term view considering the strategic goals of the enterprise. Financial management is nowadays increasingly referred to as "Strategic Financial Management" so as to give it an increased frame of reference.
To understand what strategic financial management is about, we must first understand what is meant by the term "Strategic". Which is something that is done as part of a plan that is meant to achieve a particular purpose.
Therefore, Strategic Financial Management is that aspect of the overall plan of the organization that concerns financial managers. This includes different parts of the business plan, for example, marketing and sales plan, production plan, personnel plan, capital expenditure, etc. These all have financial implications for the financial managers of an organization.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Traditional Approach
3. Capital Structure
Capital structure can be defined as the mix of owned capital (equity,
reserves & surplus) and borrowed capital (debentures, loans from
banks, financial institutions)
Optimal capital structure maximizes the value of the firm and reduces
the cost of capital.
Maximization of shareholders’ wealth is prime objective of a financial
manager. The same may be achieved if an optimal capital structure is
designed for the company.
Planning a capital structure is a highly psychological, complex and
qualitative process.
It involves balancing the shareholders’ expectations (risk & returns)
and capital requirements of the firm.
4. Planning the Capital Structure
Important Considerations –
Return: ability to generate maximum returns to the shareholders,
i.e. maximize EPS and market price per share.
Cost: minimizes the cost of capital (WACC). Debt is cheaper than
equity due to tax shield on interest & no benefit on dividends.
Risk: insolvency risk associated with high debt component.
Control: avoid dilution of management control, hence debt
preferred to new equity shares.
Flexible: altering capital structure without much costs & delays,
to raise funds whenever required.
Capacity: ability to generate profits to pay interest and principal.
5. Value of a Firm – directly co-related with
the maximization of shareholders’ wealth.
Value of a firm depends upon earnings of a firm and its
cost of capital (i.e. WACC).
Earnings are a function of investment decisions, operating
efficiencies, & WACC is a function of its capital structure.
Value of firm is derived by capitalizing the earnings by its
cost of capital (WACC). Value of Firm = Earnings / WACC
Thus, value of a firm varies due to changes in the earnings
of a company or its cost of capital, or both.
Capital structure cannot affect the total earnings of a firm
(EBIT), but it can affect the residual shareholders’ earnings.

7. Capital Structure Theories
ASSUMPTIONS –
Firms use only two sources of funds –
equity & debt.
No change in investment decisions of
the firm, i.e. no change in total assets.
100 % dividend payout ratio, i.e. no
retained earnings.
Business risk of firm is not affected by
the financing mix.
No corporate or personal taxation.
Investors expect future profitability of
the firm.
8. Effects of Financial Leverage
• Business risk:
– The variability of future net cash flows attributed to the
nature of the company’s operations (the risk faced by
shareholders if the company is financed only by equity).
• Financial risk:
– The risk involved in using debt as a source of finance.
• Effects of financial leverage:
– Expected rate of return on equity is increased.
– Variability of returns to shareholders increases.
– Increasing leverage involves a trade-off between risk
and return.

9. Terminology used in Capita Structure
• B = Total market value of debt
• S = Total market value of equity
• V = Total market value of the firm B+S
• NOI = Net operating Income (EBIT)
• NI = Net Income
• I = annual interest amount
• K = overall cost of capital (WACC), marginal cost of capital
• Kd = cost of debt capital
• Ks = cost of equity
• Ks = NI/S=NOI-I/S
• k =Kd X B/V + Ks X S/V
• V =EBIT or NOI/K
10. Capital Structure Theories –

• A) Net Income Approach (NI)
• B) Net operating income (NOI)
• C) Traditional Approach
• D) Modigliani – Miller Model (MM)
11. Capital Structure Theories –
A) Net Income Approach (NI)
Developed by David Durand in 1952 AD
The cost of debt and cost of equity capital remains
unchanged when leverage ratio varies as a result WACC
declines as the leverage ratio increases
Net Income approach proposes that there is a definite
relationship between capital structure and value of the firm.
The capital structure of a firm influences its cost of capital
(WACC), and thus directly affects the value of the firm.
12. NI approach assumptions –
o NI approach assumes that a continuous
increase in debt does not affect the risk
perception of investors. So Kd ,Ks remains
same.
o Cost of debt (Kd) is less than cost of equity (Ke)
[i.e. Kd < Ke ]
o WACC decreases as leverage increase
o Corporate income taxes do not exist.
13. Capital Structure Theories –
A) Net Income Approach (NI)
As per NI approach, higher use of debt capital will result in
reduction of WACC. As a consequence, value of firm will be
increased.
Value of firm = Earnings
WACC
Earnings (EBIT) being constant and WACC is reduced, the
value of a firm will always increase.
Thus, as per NI approach, a firm will have maximum value
at a point where WACC is minimum, i.e. when the firm is
almost debt-financed.

17. Capital Structure Theories –
B) Net Operating Income (NOI)
Net Operating Income (NOI) approach is the exact opposite
of the Net Income (NI) approach.
As per NOI approach, value of a firm is not dependent upon
its capital structure.
Assumptions –
o WACC is always constant, and it depends on the business risk.
o Value of the firm is calculated using the overall cost of capital
i.e. the WACC only.
o The cost of debt (Kd) is constant.
o Corporate income taxes do not exist.
18. Capital Structure Theories –
B) Net Operating Income (NOI)
NOI propositions (i.e. school of thought) –
The use of higher debt component (borrowing) in the capital
structure increases the risk of shareholders.
Increase in shareholders’ risk causes the equity capitalization
rate to increase, i.e. higher cost of equity (Ks)
A higher cost of equity (Ks) nullifies(offset) the advantages
gained due to cheaper cost of debt (Kd)
In other words, the finance mix is irrelevant and does not
affect the value of the firm.

22. Capital Structure Theories –
C) Traditional Approach
The NI approach and NOI approach hold extreme views on
the relationship between capital structure, cost of capital and
the value of a firm.
Traditional approach (‘intermediate approach’) is a compromise
between these two extreme approaches.
Traditional approach confirms the existence of an optimal
capital structure; where WACC is minimum and value is the
firm is maximum.
As per this approach, a best possible mix of debt and equity
will maximize the value of the firm.
23. Capital Structure Theories –
C) Traditional Approach
The approach works in 3 stages –
1) Value of the firm increases with an increase in borrowings
(since Kd < Ke). As a result, the WACC reduces gradually.
This phenomenon is up to a certain point.
2) At the end of this phenomenon, reduction in WACC ceases
and it tends to stabilize. Further increase in borrowings will
not affect WACC and the value of firm will also stagnate.
3) Increase in debt beyond this point increases shareholders’
risk (financial risk) and hence Ke increases. Kd also rises due
to higher debt, WACC increases & value of firm decreases.
24. Capital Structure Theories –
C) Traditional Approach
Cost of capital (Ko)
is reduces initially.
At a point, it settles
But after this point,
(Ko) increases, due
to increase in the
cost of equity. (Ke)

28. Capital Structure Theories –
D) Modigliani – Miller Model (MM)
Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller(1958) both Nobel
Prize winners in financial economics, have had a profound
influence on capital structure theory
Two Economists who demonstrated that with perfect
financial markets capital structure is irrelevant.
MM approach supports the NOI approach, i.e. the capital
structure (debt-equity mix) has no effect on value of a firm.
Further, the MM model adds a behavioral justification in
favor of the NOI approach (personal leverage)
29. Assumptions –
o Perfect Capital Market:- Capital markets are perfect
and investors are free to buy, sell, & switch between
securities. Securities are infinitely divisible.
o Investors can borrow without restrictions at par with
the firms.
o Investors are rational & informed of risk-return of all
securities
o No corporate income tax, and no transaction costs.
o 100 % dividend payout ratio, i.e. no profits retention
30. Modigliani and Miller Analysis
• Assumptions:
– Capital markets are perfect.
– Companies and individuals can borrow at the
same interest rate.
– There are no taxes.
– There are no costs associated with the
liquidation of a company.
– Companies have a fixed investment policy so
that investment decisions are not affected by
financing decisions.
31. Capital Structure Theories –
D) Modigliani – Miller Model (MM)
MM Model proposition –
o Value of a firm is independent of the capital structure.
o Value of firm is equal to the capitalized value of operating
income (i.e. EBIT) by the appropriate rate (i.e. WACC).
o Value of Firm = Mkt. Value of Equity + Mkt. Value of Debt
= Expected EBIT
Expected WACC
32. Capital Structure Theories –
D) Modigliani – Miller Model (MM)
MM Model proposition –
o As per MM, identical firms (except capital structure) will
have the same level of earnings.
o As per MM approach, if market values of identical firms
are different, ‘arbitrage process’ will take place.
o In this process, investors will switch their securities
between identical firms (from levered firms to un-levered
firms) and receive the same returns from both firms.

Modigliani-Miller (MM) Theory:
Zero Taxes
Firm U Firm L
EBIT $3,000 $3,000
Interest 0 1,200
NI $3,000 $1,800
CF to shareholder $3,000 $1,800
CF to debtholder 0 $1,200
Total CF $3,000 $3,000
Notice that the total CF are identical for both firms.
42. 42
MM Results: Zero Taxes
• MM assume: (1) no transactions costs; (2) no restrictions or
costs to short sales; and (3) individuals can borrow at the same
rate as corporations.
• MM prove that if the total CF to investors of Firm U and Firm L
are equal, then arbitrage is possible unless the total values of
Firm U and Firm L are equal:
– VL = VU.
• Because FCF and values of firms L and U are equal, their
WACCs are equal.
• Therefore, capital structure is irrelevant.
43. 43
MM Theory: Corporate Taxes
• Corporate tax laws allow interest to be deducted, which
reduces taxes paid by levered firms.
• Therefore, more CF goes to investors and less to taxes when
leverage is used.
• In other words, the debt “shields” some of the firm’s CF from
taxes.
44. 44
M&M with Corporate Taxes
• When corporate taxes are introduced, then
debt financing causes a positive benefit to
the value of the firm.
• The reason for this is that debt interest
payments reduce taxable income and thus
reduce taxes.
– Thus with debt, there is more after-tax cash flow
available to security holders (equity and debt)
than there is without debt.
– Thus the value of the equity and debt securities
combined is greater.
45. 45
MM Result: Corporate Taxes
• MM show that the total CF to Firm L’s
investors is equal to the total CF to Firm U’s
investor plus an additional amount due to
interest deductibility:
– CFL = CFU + rdDT.
• What is value of these cash flows?
– Value of CFU = VU
– MM show that the value of rdDT = TD
– Therefore, VL = VU + TD.
• If T=40%, then every dollar of debt adds 40
cents of extra value to firm.

Miller’s Theory: Corporate and Personal
Taxes
• Personal taxes lessen the advantage of corporate debt:
– Corporate taxes favor debt financing since corporations can deduct
interest expenses.
– Personal taxes favor equity financing, since no gain is reported until
stock is sold, and long-term gains are taxed at a lower rate.
48. 48
Miller’s Model with Corporate and
Personal Taxes
VL = VU + 1− D
Tc = corporate tax rate.
Td = personal tax rate on debt income.
Ts = personal tax rate on stock income.
(1 - Tc)(1 - Ts)
(1 - Td)
49. 49
Tc = 40%, Td = 30%,
and Ts = 12%.
VL = VU + 1− D
= VU + (1 - 0.75)D
= VU + 0.25D.
Value rises with debt; each $1 increase in debt
raises L’s value by $0.25.
(1 - 0.40)(1 - 0.12)
(1 - 0.30)

Conclusions with Personal Taxes
• Use of debt financing remains advantageous, but benefits are less than
under only corporate taxes.
• Firms should still use 100% debt.
• Note: However, Miller argued that in equilibrium, the tax rates of
marginal investors would adjust until there was no advantage to debt.
51. • Taxes and bankruptcy costs can be viewed as just another
claim on the cash flows of the firm.
• Let G and L stand for payments to the government and
bankruptcy parties, respectively.
• VT = S + B + G + L
• The essence of the M&M
intuition is that VT depends on
the cash flow of the firm;
capital structure just slices the
pie.

52. Static Tradeoff Theory of Capital Structure
• In the Pie model
– How much debt you take depends on the tradeoff between G and L
– maximizing the total value of the marketed claims (S+B) is
equivalent to minimizing the total value of the non-marketed claims
(G+L)
– The static tradeoff hypothesis says that the change in firm value
when equity is replaced by debt is the PV of the debt tax shield
minus the PV of increased costs of financial distress
– More generally, the tradeoff theory says the capital structure is
determined by the tradeoff between the benefits and costs of debt
– The optimal amount of debt is when the marginal benefit equals
marginal cost of debt
53. Another school of Capital Structure: The Pecking Order Theory
• Recap: Theory states that firms prefer to issue debt rather than equity
if internal finance is insufficient.
– Rule 1
Use internal financing first.
– Rule 2
Issue debt next, equity last.
• This theory focuses on the timing of security issuance, and relies on
asymmetric information
– Asymmetric information assumes one party possesses more information
than another. e.g., equity holders vs. bond holders on the value of the firm
• Consider a manager of a firm which needs new capital (debt or equity)
– If the manager believes that the stock is currently undervalued, debt would
be better (instead of selling shares for less than their true worth)
– If the manager believes that the stock is currently overvalued, equity would
be better
54. Pecking order cont’d
• Now consider the investor
– if the investor observes the firm issuing equity, this can be
taken as a signal that the stock is currently overvalued
(“signalling”)
– conversely, a firm issuing debt may be sending a signal that the
stock is currently undervalued
• If the manager takes the investor’s inference into account, then the
choice should always be debt (since if a firm tries to sell equity,
investors will think it is overpriced and won’t buy it unless the price
falls)
• Similarly, investors might be reluctant to buy bonds if they think that
managers are issuing debt because it is currently overvalued
• This leads to the pecking order.
55. Comparing tradeoff theory with pecking
order theory
• The pecking-order theory is at odds with the trade-off theory:
– There is no target B/S ratio.
– Profitable firms use less debt.
– “Financial slacks” are valuable.
– The pecking order is also consistent with avoiding issue costs and a
desire by managers to avoid publicity
56. Empirical evidence
• Tradeoff theory
– Empirical evidence which is consistent with the tradeoff theory:
changes in financial leverage affect firm values
persistent differences in capital structures across industries
highly leveraged firms tend to invest less
– Violations: The tradeoff theory fails to explain why many very
profitable firms have low debt
• Pecking order theory:
– Consistent with the observed negative correlation between
operating profits and leverage
– Consistent with profitable firms using less debt
