Taylor & Francis Ltd Performance Budgeting Reform
Book SynopsisUsing theoretical frameworks to explore the political, organizational, and cultural dynamics of performance budgeting, this book examines the adoption of performance budgeting in a variety of countries, how it has been implemented, and why it succeeded or failed. Chapters include case studies from a wide range of continents and regions including the U.S., Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Each case study pays careful attention to the unique historical, political, and cultural contexts of reform and closely examines how performance informed the budgetary process. Chapters investigate theory-driven analysis, focusing on common themes related to international policy diffusion, organizational change, stakeholder politics and gaming, communication and information management, principalagent dynamics, and institutional constraints. Contributors include both scholars and seasoned practitioners with extensive experience in implementing orTrade Review"This book reinvents visions on ‘performance budgeting’(PB) in many ways. From its much broader scope of ‘performance-based budget management’, it connects six theoretical frames, it assesses real impact beyond financial management, and it shows real differences between high, middle, and low-income countries. This is a ‘high-impact’ book because reform policy makers will be convinced to see and use PB in a different way. Academics will adjust their research agendas to also include PB in explaining transformations of organizations, institutions, and politics."Geert Bouckaert, KU Leuven Public Governance Institute, and President of IIAS"With this book, Ho, De Jong, and Zhao have made a significant contribution to our understanding of performance budgeting. It is a welcome addition in particular because its cases plow new ground, with three times the number of chapters on low and middle-income countries as on wealthy ones. Further, it is not a book that will appeal to only a narrow audience. Academics, practitioners, and students—indeed, anyone who cares about effective government--will find much of interest in this book." Philip G. Joyce, University of Maryland, USA"This book contains important and well researched insights into the many practical challenges of linking the budget process to performance management in the government sector, as well as theoretical constructs that are helpful, for example in identifying the reform space for performance budgeting. It makes a convincing case that despite frustrations with the performance of performance budgeting itself the reform has staying power so the real question is how to do it. Unlike most previous research on the topic this book has a strong focus on experience in middle- and lower-income countries and should be of particular interest to those governments and to development agencies supporting performance budgeting reforms."Ivor Beazley, World Bank Group, Washington DCTable of ContentsList of figuresList of tablesList of contributorsSection I.

Cambridge University Press A History of Corporate Finance
Book SynopsisAn overview of the role of institutions and organizations in the development of corporate finance from the Renaissance through contemporary Wall Street, this study puts forward a compelling argument for the closer integration of historical and quantitative research methodologies in financial theory.Trade Review'A History of Corporate Finance by Baskin and Miranti provides a panoramic account of the evolution of financial organizations and practices from ancient time through the present. It also compares these organizations and practices with the assumptions and conclusions of contemporary financial theories. It is must reading for both history buffs and for students, scholars, and practitioners of financial theory.' Harry Markowitz, 1990 Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics'Business corporations, once rare, have become the dominant organization of the modern economy. The corporation as we know it owes its existence to a long history of financial innovations - in institutions, markets, and instruments (securities). This is the first in-depth history to tell us how it all happened, from the merchants and bankers of medieval and Renaissance Italy to today's corporate managers and wizards of Wall Street. Students of business, economics, finance, law, and history will learn much from it.' Richard Sylla, New York University'No serious student of corporate enterprise can afford to ignore [the book's] implications for how finance has shaped institutional development. If there were no more than one important lesson to be learned from this study (and there are many), it is this: financial structure matters.' George David Smith, Business History Review'An in-depth, panoramic study of corporate finance's history from the late Middle Ages to recent leveraged buyouts in a little over 300 pages seems rather extraordinary. This book is extraordinary.' Gerald P. Dwyer, Jr, The Journal of Economic History'… this is a well-informed work, describing a series of coherent financial systems which constitutes an adequate introduction to the subject, albeit a conceptually restricted one.'

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. Portfolio theory and the discount rate; 4. Capital structure theory; 5. Option pricing theory; 6. Asymmetric information; 7. Market efficiency; 8. Wrapping it up; Index.

The University of Chicago Press Financing Corporate Capital Formation NBERProject
Book SynopsisSix leading economists examine the financing of corporate capital formation in the U.S. economy. In clear and nontechnical terms, their papers provide valuable information for economists and nonspecialists interested in such questions as why interest rates are so high, why corporate debt has accelerated in recent years, and how government debt affects private financial markets. Addressing these questions, the contributors focus chiefly on three themes: the actual use of debt and equity financing by corporations in recent years; the factors that drive the financial markets' pricing of debt and equity securities; and the relationship between corporations' real investment decisions and their financial decisions. While some of the papers are primarily expository, others break new ground. Extending his previous work, Robert Taggart finds a closer relationship between corporate and government debt than has been supposed. Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, and Robert McDonald conclude intheir study that t

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.
