Cambridge University Press Short Introduction to Corporate Finance Cambridge
Book SynopsisThe Short Introduction to Corporate Finance provides an accessibly written guide to contemporary financial institutional practice. Rau deploys both his professional expertise and experience of teaching MBA and graduate-level courses to produce a lively discussion of the key concepts of finance, liberally illustrated with real-world examples. Built around six essential paradigms, he builds an integrated framework covering all the major ideas in finance over the past half-century. Ideal for students and practitioners alike, it will become core reading for anyone aspiring to become an effective manager.Trade Review'Raghavendra Rau has written a witty and thoroughly accessible introduction to how financial markets work and why they may fail to deliver. Highly recommended.' Sanjeev Goyal FBA, Fellow at Christ's College, University of Cambridge'To laypersons, finance often sounds like a bewildering array of jargon. Rau brilliantly explains key finance concepts using vivid real-world examples. Importantly, the material is accessible to a broad population. Thus, this is a unique text which should have wide-ranging appeal for beginners trying to obtain their first exposure to finance.' Avanidhar Subrahmanyam, Goldyne and Irwin Hearsh Chair in Money and Banking, Anderson School of Management, University of California, Los Angeles'Long overdue and very much welcome, Professor Rau's new handbook on the investment and financing decisions of a firm is logical, elegant, and remarkably easy to read. Reducing what we need to know into the six big ideas of corporate finance is bold, but audiences populated by undergraduates, graduate students or executives alike seeing it all for the first time will appreciate the simplicity. His humorous quips scattered throughout surely help to lift the burden of our field's more difficult concepts.' Andrew Karolyi, Harold Bierman Jr Distinguished Professor of Management, Cornell University, New York'Professor Rau successfully distils Corporate Finance into six basic ideas and through an understanding of these core tenets he has been able to cut through much of the complexity of Corporate Finance theory. Each of the six areas are explained in considerable detail but without an over reliance on mathematical models. The book will be equally valuable for financial professionals, students of finance theory and layman who are simply interested in how financial markets work.' Paul Warren, Clare College, University of Cambridge'Raghavendra Rau opens the gateway to an understanding of corporate finance in this book, moving us lucidly towards that nirvana of universal financial literacy - when people will not need a priesthood to work the world of finance for them. This gem of a book should be compulsory reading for everyone.' Indira Rajaraman, World Resources Institute, India and formerly a Member of the Thirteenth Finance Commission'Professor Rau provides a concise, coherent introduction to corporate finance that should be essential reading for current and aspiring managers. The text is interjected with examples that borrow from pop culture, which are only accentuated by Professor Rau's biting wit and quirky charm.' Kathleen M. Kahle, University of ArizonaTable of ContentsPreface; Acknowledgements; 1. Who are the players in corporate finance?; 2. NPV and the investment decision of the firm; 3.

Berrett-Koehler The Six Secrets of Raising Capital: An Insider's
Book SynopsisAs a banker in Silicon Valley in the 80s, and an entrepreneur who founded a number of successful companies beginning in the 90s, Bill Fisher has seen first-hand that raising capital is the most important part of the startup process. Regardless of vision, motivation, and commitment to social responsibility, nothing will happen without capital. But most entrepreneurs continue to make rookie mistakes that stop them before they have a chance to get started.Fisher looks at six traditional steps in the capital-raising process and digs beneath the surface to expose subtle but critical aspects of each - knowledge that, until now, could only come with experience. For example, everyone knows that you need to have a compelling story to raise capital, but compelling for whom? Not for you or your friends or your potential customers, but for investors. So how do you design your pitch to work for them? And while you obviously need investors, they have to be the right investors. You need people who understand your vision and goals, not just whoever is waving the biggest checks.. Based on Fisherâs three-day seminars that regularly sell out all over the world, this book offers the kind of capital-raising street smarts no entrepreneur can do without.

Berrett-Koehler A Crowdfunders Strategy Guide: Build a Better
Book SynopsisJamey Stegmaier knows crowdfunding. He's a veteran of seven successful Kickstarter campaigns (and counting) that have raised over $3.2 million, and he's the proprietor of the widely read Kickstarter Lessons blog. In this book he offers a comprehensive guide to crowdfunding, demonstrating that it can be a powerful way for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses by building community and putting their customers first.This book includes over forty stories of inspiring successes and sobering disasters. Stegmaier uses these examples to demonstrate how to (and how not to ) prepare for a campaign, grow a fan base, structure a pitch, find new backers and execute many other crucially important "nuts and bolts" elements of a successful crowdfunding project.But Stegmaier emphasizes that the benefits of crowdfunding are much more about the "crowd" than the "funding." He shows that if you treat your backers as people, not pocketbooks - communicate regularly and transparently with them, ask their opinions, attend to their needs - they'll become advocates as well as funders, exponentially increasing your project's chances of succeeding.
