LAUSANNE, Switzerland--3 Apr--PRNewswire/InfoQuest
A new book from IMD business school professor Nuno Fernandes
Ambitious executives know that understanding finance is increasingly key to their chances of landing that coveted job-whether it's head of a division, country manager, a broader regional role or other posts on the way to the C-suite.
The good news is that finance does not need to be complex or painful, as a new book from IMD business school professor Nuno Fernandes [http://www.imd.org/fernandes] makes clear.
Titled Finance for Executives: A Practical Guide for Managers, the book is aimed at both financial and non-financial managers. It covers corporate finance concepts from value creation to derivatives, including cost of capital (and WACC), valuation, financing policies, M&As, project evaluation, and many other essential finance definitions-always with a focus on the implications for managers at all levels.
The book makes finance simple and intuitive by using real-world examples and mini-case studies, customizable Excel financial modelling tools, and short chapters to appeal to busy executives. Finance for Executives is a practical book with the right blend of financial management theory and practice, and without jargon and complicated math.
The book is highly recommended by senior global executives [http://www.financeforexecutives.net/reviews] including Michel Demare, Chairman of the Board of Syngenta; Ravi Kant, Vice Chairman of Tata Motors; Severin Schwan, CEO of Roche Group; and Thilo Mannhardt, CEO of Ultrapar.
Professor Fernandes is Professor of Finance at IMD, where he directs the Strategic Finance [http://www.imd.org/executive-education/sf/#/strategic-finance/description-dates-fees] program as well as many in-house programs for companies and financial institutions in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. He is a specialist in corporate finance, cost of capital estimations, project evaluations, valuation, international financial markets, and emerging market risks.
