Product Description
FINANCE FOR EXECUTIVES: MANAGING FOR VALUE CREATION, 3e is ideal for the future manager or experienced executive who recognizes the importance of using financial information to maximize firm value. Respected authors Gabriel Hawawini and Claude Viallet have translated their wealth of experience into a concise, analytically sound introduction to financial management that is neither too simplistic nor too theoretical. Based on modern finance principles, the book presents the most recent financial data and latest references with a level of practicality and rigorous analysis appropriate for today's experienced executive - without complicated formulas that have no direct application to decision making. Each chapter is self-contained - providing ultimate flexibility for teaching and making the book an excellent source for reference or self-learning beyond the traditional classroom. This book is perfect for executive education, executive MBA courses, or any course where you want to translate theory into practice or use a case approach. A strong problem-scenario approach presents concepts within the context of financial management problems that executives commonly face. In addition, consistent case studies analyze the same set of companies throughout the text to provide a common thread that reinforces learning.

A readable, relevant reference for every business person. September 22, 1998
A. Magos (Wilmette, Illinois)

Every business owner, executive, accountant, banker and maybe even your lawyer should have this valuable book on their desktop! The authors demystify the art of finance and suggest pragmatic approaches and solutions for every day capital uses and needs. This attractive and attractively priced book is written in an innovative way, making it a useful quick desktop reference as well as an MBA level finance text. The glossary by itself is worth the price of the book. How astounding that the authors are both French, yet write with more clarity in English than any American finance writer I have read of late! Vive la readability!
Excellent for Corporate Finance practitioners August 8, 2000
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
‚Finance for Executives' is invaluable for everybody who needs to analyse companies and wants to know whether investment, financing or business decisions create value. It is written very clearly and is therefore easy to understand. It offers plenty of practically relevant examples, mostly based on one company which is being analysed in its different aspects throughout the whole book. Moreover, every chapter finishes with review problems (including solutions) and useful references. Some chapters offer appendices with mathematical proofs or additional in-depth analysis. - You will not be satisfied with this book if you are looking for a scientific, theoretical text. However, your expectations will be exceeded if you are a practitioner who wants to make an impact in a consulting or investment banking environment. - What does make this book so special? After working through it, you will be able to easily put into practice what you read.

Great overview in simple terms and easy to follow July 30, 1999
matthias.jaffe@insead.fr (France)
This book is great as an introduction to the major concepts of finance. If you are looking for an advanced refernce book, this is not the one. But if you want to refresh your memory, or want a quick overview of concepts and methods, I can't think of a better book.
Good job September 29, 2009
