Now in its ninth edition, Financial Management for Decision Makers provides students with a unique focus on the practical application of financial management and its role in decision making. Covering topics such as financial planning, making capital investment decisions, and financing a small business, it provides an ideal introduction to the world of financial management.

New to this edition:



A new chapter on international aspects of financial management, which explores the benefits and problems associated with internationalisation and the management of foreign exchange risk
Updated explanations throughout including greater coverage of behavioural finance and share valuation methods
Increased number of activities, giving more opportunities to engage with the key concepts
Updated Real World examples, which provide connections between the theory and practice of financial decision making

This text is ideal for undergraduates from a non-accounting or non-finance discipline taking an introductory module in financial management. It is also suitable for postgraduate students enrolled on certificate and diploma courses in financial management, as well as those enrolled on Diploma in Management Studies and MBA programmes. The text can also be used by finance and accounting students as a foundation for further study.

A suite of resources are also available and accompany this text:



For instructors: Solution's manual and PowerPoint slides
For students: Opportunities to practise and additional support given through a companion website

"The textbook integrates financial management, business policy and management function, and places emphasis on the integration of the finance function within the context of managerial decision-making and business planning. It also helps students to understand why sometimes theory and practice differ. Activities within the main text are inserted at appropriate points and Real World examples introduce readers to real-life scenarios and offer an opportunity to apply financial management theory and techniques."
