Corporate Financial Management

"The book combines academic rigour (in the explanation of theory) with practical application (explaining how companies apply theory in real life). There are lots of numerical examples to help with understanding of the concepts covered." Dr Rob Jones, Newcastle University Business School

The sixth edition of this highly respected text is comprehensive yet accessible, with real-world case studies to ground you in the application of important concepts.

Written with authority by authors steeped in the financial world, the book offers a comprehensive survey of the theory and practice of corporate finance for anyone studying the topic by itself or within business, accounting, finance, banking or economics courses, teaching you how to make informed, successful financial decisions that are crucial for a career in business.

It explores topics such as investment appraisal, risk and return, sources of finance, and risk management, including derivatives, and gives a unique treatment of corporate value.
