Corporate Financial Management (Paperback)

Ian Jackson, Staffordshire University

'An excellent text, with a refreshingly original approach. The chapters on corporate value are particularly appreciated, as it is very difficult to find good text-book coverage of this important topic.' Vijay Lee, Southbank University. 'This is an ideal book for students. The concepts are clearly explained, and illustrated with topical references. It is well written and easy to follow.' Ruth Bender, Cranfield University. 'The writing style is brilliant ... My students love the Glen Arnold textbook. It is easy to read, and they actually understand finance now.' Dr Jan Bo Jakobsen, Copenhagen Business School. Following the huge success of the first edition of Corporate Financial Management, welcomed by students and lecturers alike, this second edition has been fully updated. The book is both extremely readable and comprehensive in its coverage of the theory and practice of corporate finance. It progresses from a general overview of the financial world, on through investment appraisal, risk and return, and sources of finance, to a uniquely comprehensive treatment of corporate value. The final part introduces risk management, focusing on derivatives and exchange-rate risk. Theory and practice are closely integrated throughout the text, reflecting the extent to which real-world practice has been profoundly shaped by financial theory. The book is suitable for use by second and third year undergraduate students of accounting and finance, economics and business studies, throughout the world. It will also prove appropriate for those studying on an MBA course.
