Description

For courses on International Finance.

Authoritative, comprehensive coverage of contemporary international finance.

Renowned for its authoritative, comprehensive coverage of contemporary international finance, this market-leading text trains the leaders of tomorrow’s multinational enterprises to recognize and capitalize on the unique characteristics of global markets. Because the job of a manager is to make financial decisions that increase firm value, the authors have embedded real-world mini-cases throughout to apply chapter concepts to the types of situations managers of multinational firms face.

In the twelfth edition, Chapter 1 now includes a new mini-case “Porsche Changes Track”, while the new Chapter 5 addresses the recent financial crises, providing an overview of the origins, dissemination, and repercussions of this credit crisis on the conduct of global business.


Features

For courses on International Finance.

Authoritative, comprehensive coverage of contemporary international finance.

Renowned for its authoritative, comprehensive coverage of contemporary international finance, this market-leading text trains the leaders of tomorrow’s multinational enterprises to recognize and capitalize on the unique characteristics of global markets. Because the job of a manager is to make financial decisions that increase firm value, the authors have embedded real-world mini-cases throughout to apply chapter concepts to the types of situations managers of multinational firms face.

In the twelfth edition, Chapter 1 now includes a new mini-case “Porsche Changes Track”, while the new Chapter 5 addresses the recent financial crises, providing an overview of the origins, dissemination, and repercussions of this credit crisis on the conduct of global business.

  • The unique managerial emphasis employs numerous embedded mini-cases to push students beyond a superficial understanding of abstract concepts. Students learn that a successful manager in a multinational enterprise not only needs to be able to recognize imperfections in national markets for products, factors of production and financial assets, but also to be able to make decisions about how to benefit from those imperfections.
  • Exceptional currency of coverage keeps students abreast of contemporary issues and events, including financial management issues in emerging markets.
  • An entire chapter is devoted to the political risk challenges faced by multinational enterprises across three corridors of exposure: firm-specific risk, country-specific risk, and global-specific risk.
  • Spreadsheet examples, along with online templates, give students hands on practice with a key tool of the financial manager. Multinational Business Finance also offers the most end-of-chapter problems of any text on the market. Spreadsheet solutions are available for instructors.
  • A complete supplements package, including PowerPoint® lecture notes, instructor’s manual and a comprehensive test bank is available.

NEW! Chapter 1: Globalization and the Multinational Enterprise traces the logical development of globalization forces, comparative advantage, foreign direct investment by multinational enterprises, and financial globalization principles to multinational financial management.

NEW! Chapter 2: Financial Goals and Corporate Governance is largely new and expands on the discussion of corporate governance in the original Chapter 1 to now include private ownership of business—the still dominant form of ownership globally—and differing perspectives on the value of good governance globally.

NEW! Chapter 5: Current Multinational Financial Management Challenges: The Global Credit Crisis contains the most up-to-date and detailed coverage on the recent financial crises. This coverage provides an overview of the origins, dissemination, and repercussions of the current credit crisis on global business. The chapter begins with the seeds of the crisis—the rapid lending and expansion of real estate markets in the post 2000 marketplace—followed by a detailed description of how securitization contributed to the growth of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, the derivative instruments created for their marketing and sales, and the sequence of market failures causing financial crisis. The chapter concludes with a detailed analysis of the international interbank markets and how they have "frozen" and behaved during the crisis.

NEW! Chapter 5 mini-case—This new chapter concludes with a mini-case debating whether the U.S. government should or should not have allowed one of the largest investment banks, Lehman Brothers, to fail.

NEW! Chapter 18: Foreign Direct Investment Theory and Strategy has a new section on emerging market MNEs.

More Global Finance in Practice boxes have been added throughout the text, highlighting the importance of current events tied to chapter material.
