Synopsis

This new book offers an introduction to financial decision-making, covering key areas of financial management ranging from objectives through to investment financing and dividend policy. The emphasis is on "managing for value" which reflects a growing concern in the focus of modern business management. The book examines business finance from a managerial angle, integrating strategy in a way that has not been achieved yet in most other core finance texts. The material will be relevant to all types of business organisations, and examples are taken from Europe and around the world. Using up-to-date, topical case material, based upon real-life companies familiar to many students, the text analyses value-adding strategies and how practice compares with theory.

Business Finance: a Value Based Approach

is aimed primarily at those students with a limited finance background, but who are or will be involved in making strategic decisions with financial implications. This makes it suitable for use on many MBA programmes on shorter, practically-oriented modules in business or corporate finance, and also on business-related undergraduate degree programmes.

Both authors are based at Bournemouth University, School of Finance & Law.
