Course Design: The series is primarily designed based on the teaching syllabus of financial management programs in general universities, especially those in finance-related fields. Considering that the curriculum design for financial management or financial and financial studies programs in various institutions is still in the process of practical exploration, teachers from relevant institutions can select and use the materials as needed.
Author Team: The series is composed of experts from renowned domestic universities with high teaching levels and strong faculty resources, such as Xiamen University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Nankai University, and Nanjing University. They are all leading figures in the fields of financial management and accounting education and research at their respective institutions. Many of them have overseas study and visiting scholar experiences, enabling them to grasp the latest developments in financial management and accounting.
Content Features: With the goal of cultivating international middle and senior financial management talents, the series skillfully combines Chinese and foreign financial management teaching cases, reflecting an international perspective in financial management concepts. It provides authoritative supplementary reading materials from both China and abroad, focusing on solving practical problems for Chinese enterprises. While catering to the teaching needs of general financial management programs, accounting programs, and CPA programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, the book also incorporates cutting-edge knowledge, leaving room for instructors to expand on the content in class while meeting the teaching requirements for MBA and MPAcc professional accounting master's programs.
Usage Instructions: Teaching materials, student guides, and PPTs for classroom presentations will be released for the corresponding courses. At appropriate times, online teaching support will also be provided. Instructors can adjust the content of the teaching material based on class schedules, students' foundational knowledge, and the difficulty level.
Intermediate Financial Management is a required course for financial management majors in higher education institutions. The book is designed to align with the content of corporate finance and introductory financial management, without separately elaborating on the methods of calculating the time value of money and net present value, or the detailed aspects of working capital management and traditional financial analysis. The book presents the core theories, research methods, and practical applications of financial management, using a wealth of vivid cases, including those from Chinese listed companies. The eight parts of the book are:
1. Theoretical Foundations of Corporate Financial Management
2. Determination of Corporate Financial Goals and Financial Budget Control
3. Corporate Value Assessment
4. Investment Decisions and Capital Budgeting Management
5. Financing Decisions
6. Capital Structure Optimization and Dividend Policy
7. Capital Operation Management
8. Financial Risk Management
The innovation of this book lies in shifting financial management from traditional capital management to a strategic level, while establishing a financial budgeting system with the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth under the condition of trade-offs. The book is suitable for undergraduate education in financial management, accounting, and CPA programs, as well as for accounting graduate students, MPAcc, and MBA programs.
