Reseña del editor:
Authoritative and comprehensive, the Australian edition blends a clear, distinctive and modern presentation of financial theory with in-depth analysis and applications. With a strong managerial bent, the book looks beyond what happens in practice to examine the reasons why companies and management act as they do.
