Van Horne James C., Wachowicz John M. Fundamentals of financial management

13th edition. — Pearson Education, Prentice-Hall, 2008. — 744 p. — ISBN: 978-0-273-71363-0.Financial management continues to change at a rapid pace. Advancements are occurring not only in the theory of financial management but also in its real-world practice. One result has been for financial management to take on a greater strategic focus, as managers struggle to create value within a corporate setting. In the process of value creation, financial managers are increasingly supplementing the traditional metrics of performance with new methods that encourage a greater role for uncertainty and multiple assumptions. Corporate governance issues, ethical dilemmas, conflicting stakeholder claims, a downsized corporate environment, the globalization of finance, e-commerce, strategic alliances, the growth of outsourcing, and a host of other issues and considerations now permeate the landscape of financial decision making. It is indeed a time of both challenge and opportunity.Introduction to Financial Management.
