The cases in this book exercise valuation analysis over a wide range of assets, debt, equities, and options, and a wide range of perspectives, such as investor, creditor, manager, and government. 2. An important premise of these cases is that managers should take cues from the capital markets. The cases illustrate important players in the capital markets; exercise students ' abilities to interpret capital market conditions; explore the design of financial securities; and help students understand the implications of transparency of the firm to investors, and the impact of news about the firm in an efficient market. 3.These cases illustrate the immense practicality of finance theory in sorting out the issues facing managers, assessing alternatives, and illuminating the effects of any particular choice. A number of cases present practical ethical dilemmas or moral hazards facing managers. Most of the cases call for action plans rather than mere analysis or description of a problem. 4."Socrates 'Muse" a helpful manual written by Robert Bruner, is available to assist instructors in teaching their class using cases. 5.A new custom-crafted website includes spreadsheet templates for use with the cases. |
