Trade Review"The textbook integrates financial management, business policy and management function, and places emphasis on the integration of the finance function within the context of managerial decision-making and business planning. It also helps students to understand why sometimes theory and practice differ. Activities within the main text are inserted at appropriate points and Real World examples introduce readers to real-life scenarios and offer an opportunity to apply financial management theory and techniques."
