An essential guide to valuation techniques and financial
analysis
With the collapse of the economy and financial systems, many
institutions are reevaluating what they are willing to spend money
on. Project valuation is key to both cost effectiveness measures
and shareholder value.
The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive
examination of critical capital budgeting topics. Coverage extends
from discussing basic concepts, principles, and techniques to their
application to increasingly complex, real-world situations.
Throughout, the book emphasizes how financially sound capital
budgeting facilitates the process of value creation and discusses
why various theories make sense and how firms can use them to solve
problems and create wealth.
Offers a strategic focus on the application of various
techniques and approaches related to a firm''s overall strategy
Provides coverage of international topics based on the premise
that managers should view business from a global perspective
Emphasizes the importance of using real options
Comprised of contributed chapters from both experienced
professionals and academics, Capital Budgeting Valuation
offers a variety of perspectives and a rich interplay of ideas
related to this important financial discipline.
