Description
A concise yet thorough, analytically sound 14-chapter introduction to financial management designed especially for the experienced executive. Where most texts prove to be either too simplistic or too advanced for most non-financial managers, this book employs the appropriate level of both practicality and rigor for the executive audience. Its practical approach make it ideal for a course taught from a case approach or as a complement to a more technical introductory text. Self-contained chapters make it an excellent and concise reference text and useful for readers who want to learn the concepts on their own outside of the traditional classroom.
