Foundations of Multinational Financial Management,4th Edition

Author: Alan C C Shapiro

Focused on real-life decision making in an international context, this text demystifies and simplifies multinational financial management in a clear, conceptual framework. The approach is to treat international financial management as a natural and logical extension of the principles and valuation framework provided by domestic corporate financial management to account for dimensions unique to international finance.
