Synopsis

Written by a highly acclaimed, best-selling author team, Financial Management: Theory and Practice remains the only upper-level introductory finance text to present a balance of financial theory and applications. Beginning with basic concepts including background on the economic and financial environment, financial statement analysis, risk analysis, and the valuation process, students are aided in understanding how specific techniques and decision rules can be used to maximise the value of the firm. The text's primary focus is to educate students to be effective managers. Examples from actual companies are included throughout the text and in the opening vignettes illustrating real-world applications of chapter concepts. International examples are integrated throughout and an entire chapter is devoted to Multinational Financial Management. The focus on valuation and value-adding decisions has been reinforced by the increased emphasis on * flow, * * flow, EVA/MVA, and the use of options and derivatives as a risk management tool. Further changes include a new section on *-cash flow valuation techniques added to Chapter 9, with extended discussion in the chapters on capital budgeting, long-term financial planning, mergers, and bankruptcy.
