Like its predecessors the thirteenth edition of Analysis for Financial Management is for
nonfinancial executives and business students interested in the practice of financial
management. It introduces standard techniques and recent advances in a practical intuitive
way. This product assumes no prior background beyond a rudimentary and perhaps rusty
familiarity with financial statements-although a healthy curiosity about what makes business
tick is also useful. The emphasis throughout is on the managerial implications of financial
analysis. Analysis for Financial Management should prove valuable to individuals interested
in sharpening their managerial skills and to executive program participants. This product has
also found a home in university classrooms as the sole text in Executive MBA and applied
finance courses as a companion text in case-oriented courses and as a supplementary reading
in more theoretical courses.
