This is a stand-alone textbook concentrating on core topics in finance. It builds
from no knowledge up to intermediate knowledge. The aim is to build an integrated
understanding of the three decision areas in finance: investment, financing, and the
dividend decision. These themes are introduced in an introductory chapter and
explored in the following chapters with reference to the overall picture given in the
Introduction. Finally, three integrated chapters cover acquisitions and restructuring,
the management of interest rate and exchange rate risk, and international
investment decisions. The book is particularly aimed at courses where lecturers
are teaching under time constraints and need to concentrate on essentials only.
The book is well illustrated and very strong pedagogically, with an excellent
supplements package. Numerous FT case vignettes are used to bring a real-world perspective to the subject.
