The Interior Design Program at Georgian College is dedicated to providing our students with a broad-based proficiency in interior space design and physical space management that will enable graduates to proceed to productive and rewarding professional careers in interior design. The 3-Year Interior Design Diploma is recognized by the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO). Graduates are eligible to become Intern Members of ARIDO. After the requisite four years of experience, Interns who successfully complete the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) examination achieve Registered Interior Design status in Ontario.
The literature has clearly established that corporate decisions can be driven by market value. When equity is overvalued, companies are more likely to make more investments (Baker, Stein, and Wurgler, 2003; Polk and Sapienza, 2009; Stein, 1996), conduct more mergers and acquisitions (e.g., Dong et al., 2006; Rhodes-Kropf, Robinson, and Viswanathan, 2005; Shleifer and Vishny, 2003), offer more securities and pay more dividends (Baker and Wurgler, 2000, 2002, 2004), and use more accruals (Chi and Gupta, 2009). In addition, many of these researchers also show that these decisions are followed by lower stock returns, suggesting that they are not beneficial to investors.
