Description
The interest of managers and students in finance is not surprising. Financial economics provides a rich body of theory and supporting empirical work, with important implications for the way company finances should be managed, and the subject is taught at hundreds of business schools, universities and colleges with the object of training students to use a knowledge of finance in a business environment. Case studies play a crucial role here for they help to focus on applying and testing the theory of finance in real decision situations. Yet in spite of this, there is a paucity of good cases focusing on financial issues, especially in a European context. This need is met by 'Cases in Corporate Finance' which provides a collection of 27 new case studies of business situations and their backgrounds. It covers a comprehensive selection of topics, and can be used in conjunction with leading textbooks in finance at a variety of levels. The cases have been test-taught at leading business schools in the United States and Europe.

Description
While the rich body of theory and supporting empirical work covered in business courses is fundamental to understanding the workings of the marketplace, their simplifications are inconsistent with the radical changes and increasing complexities in the real world of finance. The cases presented in this text will stimulate discussion and develop analytical skills by allowing readers to test current financial theory against actual world financial problems and to observe possible conflicts between theory and practice. The topics covered here represent many of the most pressing issues in the corporate community, such as capital budgeting, performance measurement, capital structure, and international finance. Case abstracts are provided to help readers select the most appropriate cases, and case questions raise key issues in each study. A topic index is also included, providing easy access to specific subjects.
