Financial management : Method and meaning

This book offers full coverage of the theories and techniques of financial management. Like the other books in the Method and Meaning Series it looks at current practices, offers a critical assessment of theory, practice and systems, and discusses likely future developments. The sequence of chapters has been adjusted in this new edition to provide a more logical ordering for the student and the chapter on financial markets has been extensively revised to incorporate recent institutional developments. Each chapter in this readable text has an initial statement of learning objectives, a summary and annotated suggestions for further reading. The integral Workbook contains extensive discussion questions and computational problems, case studies and reprinted items from the financial press to illustrate current key topics. This innovative package contains selected answers for the student to test him or herself and the accompanying Teachers' Guide contains the balance of solutions plus additional resource material. The inclusion in the main text of material traditionally contained in a students' manual makes this book exceptionally good value of money. Financial Management : method and meaning (2nd edition) is an introductory text intended for first and second year undergraduate students of accounting, finance and business studies and is also relevant for students taking courses of MBA level.
