Accounting and Finance for Managers is specifically designed for the needs of MBA, EMBA and MA Business and Management students. It includes worked examples throughout, as well as real-world scenarios, 'expert view' notes and full exercises at the end of each chapter, encouraging students to think more broadly by presenting them with further issues to consider. For lecturers, the book begins with an indication of how the course material can be tailored to individual needs and divided over different periods of time. As well as providing coverage of basic bookkeeping, readers will learn how to understand financial statements and grasp underlying theory, interpret a cash budget and identify potential problems, recognise appropriate pricing strategies to fit different markets and products/services, and incorporate financial evaluation into operational decision making and problem solving. Online supporting resources for Accounting and Finance for Managers include bonus chapters covering topics such as cash flow, investment decisions and business planning, and lecture slides that align with each chapter.
