Financial Management

Financial Management provides a firm foundation for understanding financial management. The title begins by introducing students to the role of a financial manager, and identifies the driving goals of an organisation. Additionally, it introduces key financial calculations, including the time value of money. It also demonstrates how to measure the risk and return of a portfolio of assets. This is expanded on with a discussion of the valuation of shares and bonds. Students will also learn about the valuation of debt and equity, and how the costs of these sources of capital are identified. Finally, the title explores various capital budgeting techniques, and analyses mergers and takeovers.
