Description
'Financial Performance' presents the foundation concepts underlying the Senior Executive Programmes the Authors have taught together and
separately over the last 15 years in Europe, Asia and North America.
These programmes include
The Oxford Advanced Management Programme
The Oxford Senior Executive Finance Programme
The INSEAD Advanced Management Programme
The IMI, Geneva, Advanced Management Programme
The Harvard Advanced Management 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 I Performance 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 2 Valuation
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.
