Features: This book helps managers enhance their comprehensive management capabilities by focusing on the cultivation of financial thinking and the improvement of financial management skills. It collects nine cases, starting with a systematic introduction to background knowledge, supplemented by insightful cases and analyses, which enable readers to grasp relevant financial knowledge while studying the cases. The case content covers various aspects such as bank loans, portfolio theory, investment analysis, derivative financial instruments, CAPM, and foreign exchange markets. Each case includes in-depth analysis and systematic summaries. The cases serve as a "primary textbook" for managers on financial concepts and tools, integrating the three key concepts of cash, risk, and value. In the basic investment analysis cases, the authors provide examples of the application of net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) and explain how to conduct effective capital investment analysis. In the derivative instruments cases, the authors introduce three main derivative instruments: options, futures, and swaps. In the foreign exchange market cases, the authors analyze how the foreign exchange market operates through detailed examples, helping managers apply mathematical knowledge to solve various foreign exchange problems. Financial Knowledge for Managers is a case study developed for MBA students to learn financial knowledge. The book's detailed explanations of relevant financial knowledge are urgently needed for managers to improve their financial literacy.
