Book SynopsisFinance for non-financial managers - succeed with just four numbers.Finance doesn't have to be complicated. This book shows you how to make better, faster, financially sound business decisions using just four numbers.Effective financial management is at the heart of every successful business but it can seem impenetrable to the non-financial manager; littered with spreadsheets, inexplicable charts and intricate formulae, all washed down with swathes of unintelligible jargon. In reality, successful financial management is all about the management of just these four figures.Knowing what these four figures are, how they relate to each other and most importantly, how they can be managed, is the key to financial success.

Book SynopsisVolume 17 first aims to analyse the three most significant dimensions of the current technological development of the economy and society: analytics, intelligence, and ethics. Next, this collection introduces the concept of digital disruption, and puts forward the application of new technologies as a valuable asset in the current business landscape. The authors go on to demonstrate that consumer electronic contracts are better protected than in-person contracts, as the European legislation has created certain mechanisms in order to promote electronic contracting, among which are: the duties of information, the right of withdrawal and online arbitration. One study identifies useful information through data mining in an effort to better understand consumer claims about products and services, mainly complaints about the companies that are evaluated. The penultimate chapter discusses in-memory business intelligence, as well as the modeling of business analysis questions. Lastly, the dynamic processes of the foreign equity price and the foreign exchange rate are depicted by identifying a Markov-modulated multi-currency market model capturing both individual jumps and systematic cojumps.

Book SynopsisWith over 300,000 copies sold, the new edition of this comprehensive mentoring guide clearly presents all of the essential information needed to learn to trade options. Whereas most options books focus on profit and loss opportunities, this book addresses the issues of hedging market risks in an equity portfolio head on.

Divided into four parts, Options reflects a guiding standard of the past nine editions and includes: Crystal clear explanations of the attributes and strategies of calls and puts. A chapter on the short life of an option. This, missing in almost every options book, is a key to understanding options trading. Examples in Part 1 showing different trading strategies on both sides of the trade. The second part of the book is about closing positions; taking profit, exercising, expirations or rolling forward your position, risk analysis, profit calculations, and the impact of volatility. The third part simplifies the complex issues of advanced strategies including the various spreads, combining spreads to successfully hedge other positions and how certain strategies work. Each spread is covered in at least one detailed example. The final part is on evaluating risk. The unquestioned benefits of hedging risk and strategies that are virtually guaranteed to succeed that are generally the domain of the investment giants along with many examples are discussed. The book’s broad coverage makes it an incredibly valuable desk reference to any trader in options. You won’t get explanations like these on the internet. Michael C. Thomsett is a market expert, author, speaker, and coach. His many books include Stock Market Math, Candlestick Charting, The Mathematics of Options, and A Technical Approach to Trend Analysis.

Book SynopsisFinancial markets are said to be an important source in providing capital to other sectors in every economy. Their establishment, operation, development, and practices have important implications in the development process of every country. There are also challenges that every country must deal with, such as institutional rigidities in some countries that could curtail financial development and introduce severe challenges. Dealing with the challenges and introducing new practices to smooth out the operation of the financial markets is an important goal. This book focuses on some of the issues related to recent developments in financial markets, their rigidities, and implications for the future of these markets, compiled over nine chapters. Topics discussed include the impact of financial development on income distribution; optimising trading strategies and decision making rules to trade with a special emphasis on reducing investment risk; similarities and differences in retail and institutional use of alternative investments; a new method of analysing information and forecasting foreign exchange and financial markets; improving communication skills in reducing risks in financial markets and retail clients; and, finally, how to stabilise the government bond market.

Book SynopsisFinancial statement analysis involves an understanding of an entity by applying analytical techniques to its accounting numbers. However, financial statement analyses are going through a transformation similar to the manufacturing age changing to information centered orientation. That is, it is no longer sufficient to understand the tools for analysing financial accounting information. Other types of relevant information that are not directly captured by financial statement information have a profound effect on creditors, investors, reporting bureaus, governmental agencies and regulators. This text differs from other financial statement textbooks in that it not only takes the traditional analysis of financial information, but also management and economic information that is not directly measurable or easily derived from financial accounting reports. Further, this textbook emphasises the measurement and valuation of brand, sustainability, ethical systems and trusts systems. Moreover, this text also differs in that it provides a modeling viewpoint of information analysis linked with decision makers perception and judgments before arriving at a decision. The modeling perspective enhances financial statement analysis by: 1. Including not only financial information, but also management and economic information; 2. Combining the passive tools used in investment and financial analysis (eg: ratio analysis) with individuals framing of the problem (perception) and analysis (judgment) before arriving at a decision; 3. Viewing information analysis through a camera lens reinforced by a basic two stage modeling approach in order to support decisions regarding a particular course of action to implement. Further, this text transforms what other financial statement analysis textbooks emphasise as an input-output and static analysis approach to a more dynamic and process approach. In addition, this textbook divulges from a financial analysis viewpoint to a knowledge creation perspective. This new knowledge creation perspective is intended for upper level undergraduates and graduate students, such as accounting, economic, finance, information systems, marketing, organisational behavior students, and psychology and sociology students. In addition, this book can be beneficial to government, non-profit and business oriented individuals.

Book SynopsisWe are currently experiencing the second wave of an unprecedented global pandemic-the COVID-19 crisis, which is destroying established industries such as tourism and attributing to the death of millions of people worldwide. The authors believe that the pandemic is analogous to the ancient Roman tragedy of Pompeii when the citadel was buried under four to six meters (13 to 20 feet) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This book is written for business owners, entrepreneurs, leadership, or management teams in public or third sector and professionals who are currently dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. It offers tools and techniques located in the economics of innovation, other frameworks such as the Fraud Triangle, and the authors extensive experience including rigorous cash management, practical fraud prevention, and detection and advice on implementing and refining corporate governance structures. The book will also be of interest to postgraduate including MBA students and business researchers. The book concludes by summarizing the key theories that can be used to understand the impact of this Pompeii Event and pragmatic solutions to fight COVID-19. The authors argue that organizations rooted in foresight will survive and emerge as future trail blazers. An extensive appendix is also included which outlines the implications for financial reporting.

Book SynopsisThis book explains how and why corporations use the internet for reporting to their stakeholders. While many such books are limited to financial reporting, this book extends to business reporting, environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting and integrated reporting. A key part of it is the impact of the major drivers entering into modern reporting, including the movement to data driven decision making, impact of big data, advanced analytics, and the use of electronic representations of data with tools such as XBRL. It also explores the various vehicles for using the internet, including social media and blogs as well as corporate websites and the websites of regulators. And it delves into the impact of portable devices, like smart phones and tablets. Corporate reporting on the internet is changing fast because of changes in technology and in stakeholder expectations. For example, stakeholders now expect a lot more from companies than they did a few years ago in disclosing the effects of the company on the environment and the effects of the environment on the company. The book describes the evolution of corporate reporting in recent years, the state of the art now and provides a roadmap for companies to follow in the near future - a roadmap they should be starting on now. So this book is of interest to executives in charge of the reporting function for their companies, to students of accounting and management who aspire to corporate reporting responsibilities and to serious investors and others with a strong interest in corporate reporting and the direction in which it is headed. Most importantly, the book lays out a strong case for integrated reporting, what it means, attempts at integrated reporting so far, and the future of integrated websites. It also shows how reporting on the internet is ideally suited to fostering the growth of integrated reporting.

Book SynopsisThis book guides the reader from the building blocks of revenue management, to pricing science and merchandising, and to broader issues of setting objectives in support of a revenue strategy.The discipline is evolving, and that evolution has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders in hotel revenue management, and more broadly in sales & marketing, need to understand these changes, and lead and adapt accordingly. This will require a strong foundation in analytics – not just modeling, but also business analytics in support of a holistic strategy.As more of the tactics of revenue management are executed through automation, and powered by machine learning, revenue managers will become more focused on strategy, and will need to think about revenue management in the context of marketing, loyalty, and distribution. As the strategy component of the discipline increases, so too must the breadth of knowledge of revenue managers.

Book SynopsisLatin America consists of a diverse set of countries that nonetheless face common political, economic and social problems; in particular, high inequality and volatile growth which have contributed to high levels of poverty. However, since the 2000s, most countries in Latin America have reduced inflation, brought external debts under control and improved on most of the key economic and social performance indexes. These structural changes have attracted the attention of external investors, as well as large international audiences. With countries such as Mexico and Brazil becoming political and economic power houses, the Latin American region is set to play an important role in the global economy. Yet, international research communities currently lack a systematic understanding of Latin American accounting issues, in spite of a vibrant and growing accounting literature emanating from Latin American researchers.

Book SynopsisManufacturing firms are moving beyond manufacturing to offer services and solutions, often delivered through their products, or at least in association with them. This strategy is called “servitization” and these new business models are based on the Product-Service-System (PSS). This book, through both a theoretical and an empirical approach, intends to present and discuss the main challenges that companies interested in servitization strategies have to overcome, with a particular focus on the design of managerial control systems. This book can represent a useful tool for whose companies interested in the development of successful servitization strategies and for scholars involved in research on innovative business models. In particular, it may be of interest for top management and middle management in charge of strategic and organizational issues, as well organizational units, such as: supply chain, logistics, production, after sales and service, R&D, strategic planning and managerial control. Consultants and practitioners involved in strategy, organization, manufacturing, operations, supply chain and managerial control may be interested too.Trade ReviewServitization is a strategy that many manufacturing companies are now engaging to maintain income in an era of diminishing demand for products by selling services, often through or in association with their manufactured products, say Pistoni and Songini. They analyze the phenomenon from both theoretical and empirical approaches, highlighting the main challenges that companies have to overcome in order to implement this strategy successfully, and focusing specifically on managerial control mechanisms. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1 – The servitization of manufacturing: Why and how Chapter 2 – Servitization strategy: Key features and implementation issues Chapter 3 – Strategic managerial control for servitization strategy Chapter 4 – Case studies Chapter 5 – Conclusions: Research and practical implications

Book SynopsisFinancial reporting is a strategic means of communication: management has an opportunity to interpret, and the power to deliver, what is materially important to the organization’s stakeholders. Understanding materiality means steering the company in the right direction, and many internal management battles regarding what and how to disclose in external financial reporting run on the verge of materiality. This book offers an integrated perspective of materiality from the angles of accounting (IFRS, US GAAP and SEC Rules and Regulations), auditing, internal control over financial reporting, management commentary, financial analysis, management control, forensic analysis, sustainability reporting, corporate responsibility, assurance standards, integrated reporting, and limited legal considerations. In Materiality in Financial Reporting: An Integrative Perspective, the author adopts a practical, operational approach to show how strategy, processes, and communication can be used to devise a consistent corporate governance system of materiality.Trade ReviewMost of the internal management battles for what financial information to filter through the internal reporting layers and what to disclose and how in the external financial statements run on the verge of what is and is not material, says Bellandi. Often the question of materiality is in fact a cover for some other reason, he says, and forensic analysts are aware than when a company says something is not material, this alone is a good reason to investigate what this statement is trying to conceal. His topics include conceptual bases of materiality, actors and models of materiality, the materiality determination process, and accounting materiality in the real world. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *Table of ContentsPREFACE PART I: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND PART II: CONCEPTUAL BASES OF MATERIALITY PART III: ACTORS AND MODELS OF MATERIALITY PART IV: APPLICATION OF MATERIALITY PART V: ASSESSING MATERIALITY PART VI: THE MATERIALITY DETERMINATION PROCESS PART VII: WHERE STANDARDS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRE MATERIALITY JUDGMENTS PART VIII: ACCOUNTING MATERIALITY IN THE REAL WORLD
