The primary major is finance. Finance involves the disclosure, management, and evaluation of economic activities and is vital to the successful operation of organizations and markets (Brigham et al., 2016). It involves the management of money and has several concepts, themes, and theories. The main themes in finances include personal, corporate, and government finance. The main concepts are managerial and corporate finance, while some global theories include the behavioral finance theory.
Personal finance involves analyzing an individual’s finance, which helps formulate strategies for future needs. It is usually specific to every individual’s situation and activity, and the process mostly depends on a person living requirements, goals, and earnings. (Brigham et al., 2016). For instance, a person should save for retirement; thus, saving needs a person to invest enough money in the working life to fund the long terms plans. Corporate finance look at the financial activities related to running an organization normally with a division and department set up to look at the economic activities.
Additionally, there is the concept of managerial finance, which looks at finance’s organizational importance (Filbeck et al., 2017). The managerial concept mainly involves assessments instead of technique. For example, when reviewing the company’s annuals report, when one focuses on the method, they would be primarily interested in measurement.
Behavioral finance theory is an excellent area in fiancé that explains the psychology in finance and economics (Filbeck et al., 2017). The theory mostly explains the structures of information and characteristics of market participants. It concentrates on investors and their decisions making when it comes to identifying problems and anomalies. It tends to provide an alternative block for the foundation block of standard finance, where investors tend to be expected and not rational.
Globalization looks at the exchange and movement of goods and services all over the world. Finance concepts, theory, and themes have also been high globalized. Finance globalization looks at the integration of the themes and concepts in the international capital market. This concept helps in globalization by raising the growth rate in different countries (Laiela et al., 2020). For instance, behavioral theory helps to see the essential segments of the economy. It helps to drive a countries economy by giving it a free flow of capital and marketplaces. The concepts also help look at financial firms like banks and finance economies within the global market.
