Corporate Financial Management

This book, from the former editors of FMA's Journal of Financial Management, is the first to integrate the major developments made in finance in the last twenty years, such as principal-agent considerations, asymmetric information considerations, and contingent claims analysis. The format parallels that of competitors, but the new material is woven into, and enriches, the traditional presentations. This is also the first corporate finance textbook to truly marry practice with theory, by having a full-time practitioner author. The volume provides an overview of corporate financial management and details accounting, cash flows, and taxes, the financial environment, principles, and fundamental concepts, valuation, risk & return, financial securities, options, valuing contingencies and financial contracting, as well as capital budgeting, strategic asset allocation, capital structure and dividend policy, managing the firm and long-term financing. For business professionals.
