Handbook of Corporate Finance

Get an immediate firm grasp of all the main fundamental financial issues that face your business. This book provides: - A thorough grounding in value-based management, which is increasingly talked about but little understood. - Discussion of mergers and the problems of merger failure (i.e. acquiring shareholders losing out), along with remedies. - The proper use of derivatives as tools to help a business control risk, rather than increase it, is explained in easy to follow and practically-oriented fashion. - Modern investment appraisal techniques in contrast with the rules of thumb frequently employed. - An overview of modern financial markets and instruments, with insight into the benefits brought by effective exploitation of the markets and perils of ignoring the needs of the finance providers.
