the Senior Executive Programmes the Authors have taught together
and separately over the last 15 years in Europe, Asia and North
America.

The Oxford Advanced Management Programme
The Oxford Senior Executive Finance Programme

The book is intended as a reference manual as well as a textbook
and will be of value to anyone with an interest in financial
performance - particularly senior executives.
The developments in modern finance over the last two decades have
considerable implications for the way senior executives think about
the finance discipline. It is no longer enough to have a
rudimentary knowledge of basic finance and a heavy reliance on
financial specialists.
CEOs of course need excellent financial professionals - however
they need to go beyond this and provide strategic leadership. This
requires a conceptual framework for dealing with financial matters.
This book provides a description of the underlying ideas and will
be of value to anyone with an interest in financial performance -
particularly senior executives.
This book revolves around the concept of value and it is
organised into two parts.
Part IPerformance Measurement
Consists of three chapters, all of which focus on the real and
fairly complex set of financial statements of DaimlerChrysler
AG.
The first two chapters provide a detailed guided tour of the
financial statements which deconstruct the complexity and then
reconstruct the financials to provide a clearer base for analysis.
These chapters have been arranged to deal with each line item of
financial statements which have been highlighted in such a way to
allow the reader to treat the materials as a reference as well as a
sequential read.
Chapter three presents a framework for evaluating financial health
and introduces a cash flow based model for understanding the short
and medium term constraints on a firm's growth. This exposition
revolves around the concept of sustainable growth.
Part 2Valuation
In the second part of the book chapter 4 introduces the cost of
capital concept followed by chapter 5 which provides a general
source of reference for valuation and a variety of difference
applications.Chapter 6 concludes the book with a review of concept
of shareholder value from a European perspective.
