Description
Book SynopsisIntended for an introduction or intermeduate course in corporate finance,
Financial Management stresses a finance function orientation over the more traditional accounting orientation. Consistent with this approach, the text focuses on two main ideas: maximising shareholder wealth as the goal of financial management, and the persistent trade-offs confronting financial managers as they attempt to reach that goal.
