The book covers all the aspects of finance you will need to know about when working in business. You learn to understand balance sheets and profit and loss accounts, interpret annual reports, work with budgets and costing systems, and make use of financial information in forecasting and in decision-making.
Techniques such as ratio analysis, absorption costing, direct product profitability, time series and regression analysis, exponential smoothing, product pricing, break-even analysis, short-term decision making and discounted cashflow methods are covered in detail. Throughout the text you are shown how to make the best use of spreadsheet technology in applying your learning. Major sections are supported by practical and applied case studies which help you place your learning in a real-life business context.
In essence the book offers a step-by-step learning resource for non-specialists. It enables you to build up your confidence by taking you through the learning process in a user-friendly way.
All the material was tried and tested in distance learning format on several groups of students enrolled on the BA (Hons) Retail Marketing sponsored J Sainsbury plc and their comments were fully integrated into the final book!
Student comments indicate that this is proving to be a very useful aid to learning how to deal with numerical and financial information.
