One set looks back to see what has happened. This is the accounting function, which is simply about the recording of events and the production of the financial reports that satisfy the stewardship responsibility of management. The other set looks forward to determine the most appropriate strategic direction for an organization, guiding managerial actions, motivating behaviors, and creating and supporting the cultural values necessary to achieve an organization's strategic objectives. This book is all about the second set of eyes, which are the lenses of financial management, that help organizations plot their ways through an environment filled with opportunities and dangers. For students and aspiring managers, as well as those who already have management responsibilities, this book provides an insight, through the eyes of the characters of a start-up company, of some of the ideas and models that help to identify the possible strategies capable of maximizing an organization's value, which is the same as making the owners as wealthy as possible, to determine how to finance the organization in the most proper way, to allocate the collected capital in the most effective way, to monitor the implementation of the chosen strategy to see whether it is meeting the planned objectives, and to reasonably decide on the reinvestment and distribution of profits. 410 0$aFinancial accounting collection,$x2152-7121. 606 $aBusiness enterprises$xFinance 610 $aFinancial management 610 $aPlanning 610 $aObjectives 610 $aCosts 610 $aRisk management 610 $aDebt 610 $aEquity 610 $aAnalysis 610 $aWorking capital 610 $aPerformance reporting 610 $aBalanced scorecard 610 $aBenchmarking 610 $aValue added 610 $aValuation 610 $aMergers 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xFinance. 676 $a658.15 700 $aTurner$b Geoff$01682489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823172303321 996 $aEffective financial management$94058084 997 $aUNINA
