Publisher's Synopsis
The approach of this text is to treat international financial management as a logical extension of the principles detailed in the foundation course in financial management. Its frame of reference is decision-making in an international context. Tabulated and textual examples illustrate the application of these concepts and techniques, but mathematical complexity has been kept to a minimum. There are also three new chapters on currency futures and options markets, international portfolio investment and country risk analysis.;The book features separate chapters on special financing vehicles, the measurement and management of political risk and designing a global financing strategy. Each chapter includes learning objectives, key terms, key ideas highlighted in the margin, summaries, questions, problems and examples drawn from actual companies.
