About this book
Part of Tsinghua University Texts, Financial Strategies for the Manager includes a range of financial management issues such as financial statement analysis, a systematic approach to financial performance appraisal, liquidity management and sales growth, working capital management, budgeting, foreign exchange and interest rate risk management, and a most useful tool not normally understood – EVA.

Included exercises enhance student learning and examples bolster ability to understand and use concepts in day-to-day situations. The material was originally developed for a large corporate client in the telecommunications business to assist non-financial managers in understanding financial theories in a practical way. It was expanded and revised into a text for a post-graduate course of the Asia/Pacific Management Co-operative Program, Capilano University, BC, Canada. Charles Priester is a professor at Capilano University of Canada; Jincheng Wang is a professor at the International Business School of Tianjin Foreign Studies University of China.
