Abstract: This paper analyzes the independent Institute of Financial Management application-oriented talents in the use of case teaching process necessity and thus introduced the subject of Financial Management of the implementation process using the case method as well as difficulties.


In recent years, the rapid development of Chinese higher Education has been achieved from elite Education to mass Education changes, however, almost invariably from a training model in the trained students, out of school are facing employment difficulties and even a graduate unemployment conditions. how to bring up the talent needs of the community or even the whole higher Education sector become a major social concern issues. countries have recently introduced the <<Education Plan>> put "promote the comprehensive development to meet the needs of the community" as a measure of the fundamental criterion for the quality of education.

Orientation of Independent Colleges is mainly for the local economy, foster regional economic development needs of the various types of application-oriented talents. This position determines the school must establish an independent institute and research university different new training model, and according to the economic development of the demand for talent to dynamically adjust Financial Management itself is a strong practical discipline, and most of the Financial Management graduates go to work need to start from the concrete work, which requires students to have strong practical ability and apply the knowledge to solve practical problems, but also for Independent Colleges and financial management applications talents have made requests.


First, the implementation of financial management courses need to case teaching

Through a comparative study of education experts, found that Chinese universities semester hours and the number of school weeks are among the world's first. The national higher education current teaching methods, but also mainly teacher taught. Even so, teachers still feel generally not enough hours the other hand, our institutions of higher learning out students, but it does not have a great competitive advantage. This high input and low output of the training model, should be improved.

Four-year college students in the limited time to learn their future may be used for all financial management expertise is impossible, and it is not necessary from the student point of view the direction of future employment. Independent institutes for training of students after graduation most of them are do specific work practices, the proportion of people in a small study, students need to master too many profound theoretical knowledge from the professional attributes of financial management, financial management is a practical and more integrated discipline its main purpose is to guide the teaching of students in the future practice of scientific work of the financial decisions. this goal only through the study of theory is obviously not possible. Demand from the business point of view, the new business environment, the main concern is the type of integrated management of financial management, decision-making model and an innovative mix of skills in three areas. Rather than the number of financial management graduates to master the theory of expertise so. Basic education should be strengthened at the same time, the financial management of the course content to rationalize and scientific integration. Pay more attention in the teaching process through a certain teaching methods to improve the overall quality of students and innovation. Many proven, the use of case teaching can significantly improve the teaching effect, the students analyze and solve problems, etc. can play a very good effect.

Financial management case study is built around the purpose of teaching financial management courses and teaching tasks, financial management practices will be collected from the case, combined with knowledge of financial management theory applied to financial management after treatment of the teaching process for students to learn, discussion, thinking, use of a teaching method. Case Method applied to the financial management course has the following advantages: (1) the traditional mode of teaching financial management to the "injection" mainly students in the learning process of the financial management of common sense a lot of theoretical knowledge. Can not contact them any connection with reality, and therefore are not enthusiastic about learning through the introduction of close contact with the real-life cases, can improve students 'knowledge and interest in learning theory, help to stimulate students' enthusiasm and initiative (2) Case Method the case of corporate financial management presented to the students, requiring students to stand in the perspective of corporate financial decision-makers, the use of the available methods of financial management theory and self-discovery and to ask questions and find solutions to the problem, make a scientific decision-making, students in this process, both to deepen the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to understand, but also improve the analysis of problems and problem-solving skills (3) in case a necessary part of teaching is the students' discussion in the classroom discussion must be concise, clear express their views, while allowing students to debate each other on different points of view or their own lessons, or to persuade others, which helps the students language skills and interpersonal communication capabilities.


Second, the case method of implementation

The choice of whether their case in the teaching activities should have played a vital role to play. A good case both fusion relevant theoretical knowledge, but also to mobilize the enthusiasm of students, teachers should be based on teaching goals and progress, to prepare appropriate teaching cases. Can be written using a variety of ways consistent with the actual situation of the financial management of cases, teachers can use ready-made case, or the relevant domestic and foreign newspapers and books in the article to make some minor modifications, can also be in-depth company after extensive research to write your own. Regardless of in what way, needs to combine course content of the case studies deal with. The first case requires the preparation of the general principles of authenticity, the selected cases should have some practical significance. Second, the case can be described accurately reflect the content of the theory of substance, while can cover relevant concepts and principles. To facilitate the students a good understanding. Vivid description of the language needs of the specific scenario image, in order to stimulate students to think about the interest and finally, the preparation of the case should come with thinking questions, and these problems have multiple solutions, not only authoritative, or ready-made answers or solutions, so as to students to leave the space to think, so students can use their imagination and creativity to develop their ability to innovate to achieve the purpose.

Case in the teaching process can be used in several ways. Harvard Business School case study on the whole world-famous. The whole case study of teachers and students require a higher level, the domestic institutions of higher learning is not suitable for current use, especially independent college . I believe that independent colleges in the country teaching financial management, use cases can have the following two:

Interspersed with the actual classroom situation closely linked to the small case, can original monotone theory of preaching becomes interesting, the students can personally feel that the content of the materials on the application in real life can be to improve student interest in learning, and stimulate their thinking. teachers in the teaching process should focus on instances of the use of knowledge , reflecting the use of knowledge in the instance of the status and role in the same time, the selected small instances have the knowledge and skills between the interlocking relationship, so that students learn a number of small examples, the knowledge and ability to get up and spiral accumulated. specifically, corporate financial management teaching case design can include: financial management target case, stock and bond financing case, investment and securities investment case, the case of accounts receivable and inventory management, budget management case, financial analysis case, dividend distribution case, and so on.

Second, each semester or school year, students can be arranged to give a big case, case covering most of the focus of teaching, students can be divided into several groups, two to three weeks ahead of the case material distributed to each group. Require students to read before class the case and collected relevant information, prepare the classroom to speak to discuss in this process, students can develop communication and coordination skills and spirit of unity and cooperation and then pumping one to two hours of class as a case Case class, teachers should create a good atmosphere of free discussion, encourage students to express their views. teachers need to have some on-site coordination and control capability to seize the key in the discussion guide for students, and important issues in the case analyze and solve the clues to a certain degree of certainty. After discussion, the teacher should sum up, summarize the results and harvest stage, teachers should focus on summing up the discussion of the application of theoretical knowledge, difficulty focusing, analytical methods and ideas to sort out and that the discussion of success and shortcomings, students should discuss the harvest and teachers to write a summary of case study report.


Third, the financial management of the curriculum the difficulties faced by the case method

Will be introduced to financial management, case teaching courses may face the following difficulties:
1. Source case the teacher to find a suitable case is limited. Foreign financial management does have a lot of ready-made case, but the practical problems faced by domestic and foreign enterprises, the social environment is different, do not have practical significance, while articles on newspapers and magazines may supporting the theory of modern financial management is not strong. write your own case. requires teachers to in-depth company research, during which to spend a lot of time and effort is currently teaching and research university teachers pressure. Teacher time and energy are limited. Makes the case of limited information at its disposal, the lack of comprehensive and systematic.

2. Demands on teachers. Case teaching is a two-way interactive teaching model, teachers have a profound theoretical knowledge and rich experience. And have to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students and the ability to complete classroom tasks, while the majority of university teachers are not really engaged in the business of financial management experience, so the case to grasp the reality of lack of experience.

3. Requirements for students. Case study requires students to read the case materials before class, according to their own understanding of present ideas, and in the classroom or group will view their complete clear out of state because of the students may have to adapt to the "spoon-fed" education , in a passive state of learning, if teachers are not well with the students, may be cold field conditions. and sub-group discussions, the group may be some ride. Greatly reduced the effect of case teaching.

In short, the independent college students in financial management case study. Is the teaching of a traditional financial management reform for teachers and students is a challenge as long as teachers in carefully selected cases, adequate preparation before class, and students to guide the students to actively participate. fully cooperate with the case method will be able to show its advantages with the theory and practice has greatly enhanced the students' independent thinking and decision-making.
