Corporate Financial Management (3rd Edition)
This book, from the current editors of FMA's journal Financial Management, is the first to integrate the major development 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. Examples come from the real world, and include the Netscape IPO (initial public offering), a financial statements analysis of Annheuser-Busch, Sun's offer to buy Apple Computer, and the Barings Bank Failure.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
