The cases contain problems that can be narrowed but not always settled by the usual techniques of financial analysis. It will teach students to discover ways of thinking that are productive in handling different types of managerial problems intelligently. The cases are grouped by major topics: financial analysis and forecasting, cost of capital, working capital management, capital budgeting, dividend policy, debt policy, financial execution, and mergers and restructuring.
