Economic growth requires a variety of financial institutions that can provide a steady stream of capital while managing risk. Traditional banking, as demonstrated in a rural Austrian village, is the focus of module one; module two concentrates on the trading of derivatives in the City of London; and module three explores venture capitalism through the case study of Novarox AG, a telecommunications software company with headquarters in Zurich and production facilities in St. Petersburg.
