Financial management - George Diacogiannis

Designed for undergraduate courses in financial management and corporate finance, MBA courses in financial management and professional courses in accountancy and finance (ACCA,CIMA), "Financial Management: A Modelling Approach Using Spreadsheets" is a financial management text which fully integrates the use of computer software. It is essentially three books in one, offering comprehensive coverage of financial management theory on conjunction with modelling techniques using Lotus 1-2-3 and providing grounding in the more common statistical techniques which are used in financial management.;The coverage of financial theory is thorough; each chapter begins with the basic financial management concepts and definitions, which are then discussed and illustrated with further examples and problems. Each concept is carefully summarized, and the empirical findings of various researchers into each topic are also presented.;Lotus 1-2-3 is an extremely powerful tool in applying financial management theory to management decision making. This text offers full coverage of Lotus 1-2-3's potential in this respect including: display facilities, graphical representation, sensitivity analysis, statistical procedures, data base facilities, spreadsheet functions and macros.;The applications of Lotus 1-2-3 to financial management are ingenious, and the spreadsheet figures depict Lotus 1-2-3 as it appears on screen. There are numerous worked examples and problems throughout, and data from real companys such as Marks and Spencer is used. The end-of-chapter summaries should help consolidate learning, and the text will be accompanied by a case study book for tutors.
