Title overview

Fundamentals of Multinational Finance teaches you about global markets and how to lead organizations through a constantly changing global environment. Via illuminating case studies and real-world examples, the text introduces the fundamental concepts and tools you need to know to implement an effective global financial management strategy.

The 7th Edition reflects the juxtaposed forces of an increasingly digital global marketplace and a resurgence of nationalist culture and identity. It reflects a business world trying to find a new balance between business startups like the micro-multinational, a maturing China, and a separatist Britain (Brexit). It also explores attempts by governments globally to channel, regulate and tax multinational firms that continue to grow in stature and strength.
