Each chapter is self-contained - providing ultimate flexibility for teaching and making the book an excellent source for reference or self-learning beyond the traditional classroom. This book is perfect for executive education, executive MBA courses, or any course where you want to translate theory into practice or use a case approach. A strong problem-scenario approach presents concepts within the context of financial management problems that executives commonly face. In addition, consistent case studies analyze the same set of companies throughout the text to provide a common thread that reinforces learning.
