Multinational Financial Management

Más información sobre el libro

This Eighth Edition offers specific guidelines for making financial decisions in an international context, enabling sound decision-making in multinational firms. Alan Shapiro provides a clear framework for analyzing key financial decisions, which can be relied upon throughout your career. The updated edition includes enhanced discussions on the impact of China on the international financial system, current euro issues, outsourcing debates, political considerations regarding protectionism, and competitive devaluations from 2003. The focus is on decision-making in an international context, presenting analytical techniques that convert vague rules of thumb used by international financial executives into concrete decision criteria. Shapiro emphasizes the opportunities available to multinational firms, such as increased international diversification and the ability to arbitrage between imperfect capital markets, rather than solely focusing on risks. The text features a variety of real-life cases and examples, including new mini-cases in most chapters, illustrating how to apply financial analysis and reasoning to solve real international financial problems effectively.
