Financial Management for Decision Makers 7th Edition by Peter Atrill
ISBN-13: 9781292016061
ISBN-10: 129201606X
This book has been written for those wishing to achieve a broad understanding of financial
management at either undergraduate or postgraduate/post-experience level. It is aimed primarily
at students who are studying financial management as part of their course in business,
management, accounting, economics, computing, or some other area. The book should also
be suitable for those who are not following a particular course but nevertheless need an
understanding of financial management to help them manage their business.
As there are several excellent books on financial management already published, you
may wonder why another book is needed in this area. Many of the available books are too
detailed and demanding to provide a suitable introduction to the subject. They are often
around 1,000 pages in length and contain mathematical formulae that many students find
daunting. This book assumes no previous knowledge of financial management (although a
basic understanding of financial statements is required) and is written in an accessible style.
Each topic is introduced carefully and there is a gradual building of knowledge. In addition,
mathematical formulae have been kept to a minimum.
The book rests on a solid foundation of theory, but the main focus throughout is its
practical value. It is assumed that readers are primarily concerned with understanding financial
management in order to make better financial decisions. The title of the book reflects this
decision-making focus.
