This volume is intended for use by non-specialist students taking a finance role in a range of general business and management courses. Finance is a notoriously difficult core subject for business undergraduates. So far the area has been dominated by large and complex introductory texts - often from the US - which many lecturers find too detailed and unwieldy. This text provides a UK-focused introduction to the subject of financial management. Quality controlled by an academic review panel, the content and approach has been rigorously developed to answer the needs of non-finance students.
