The fast forward MBA in finance

In this robust update of the popular first edition, Tracy explores the natural starting point for managers -the financial statements - and reveals the essential meaning of each. The financial statement framework is then expanded and modified for the decision-making functions of business managers. Practical examples illustrate how to use management models for analyzing profit, cash flow, and capital investment, all of which are clearly explained with a tight focus on the information needs of individual managers
