Description
With its clear, concise, and real-world treatment of key financial management topics, PRACTICAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT guides students on the stream to success. Author and former CFO William R. Lasher crafted his text to match the background knowledge and abilities of typical business students --many of whom have little knowledge of financial concepts. Advanced math is eliminated from the theory sections and everyday math is geared towards the ability of the typical business student, supported by numerous worked-out examples as well as graphical and intuitive presentations of math where appropriate. PRACTICAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT offers an accessible and relevant discussion of key topics, including cross-functional coverage of the agendas and biases decision-makers across the firm may bring to a financial proposal. Rely on the expertise of William Lasher to prepare your students for the real challenges and conflicts that real financial managers face every day.
