About this title

From the Back Cover

Valuing companies that employ non-standard accounting procedures, particularly companies in emerging markets, requires a wider variety of options than standard texts provide. Valuation offers a broader, more holisitic perspective that is perfectly suited to companies and markets worldwide. By emphasizing cases on valuation, including mergers and acquisition valuation, it responds to the growing expectation that students and professionals must generate comprehensive perspectives based on thorough investigations and a library of valuation theories. It guides readers through the development of complete analyses, including trend analysis of financial parameters, ratio analysis, and differing perspectives on valuation and strategic initiatives. Readers learn to see an entire system, not merely parts. The significance of this approach becomes especially clear in its section on mergers & acquisitions valuation, where case studies include stock market performance and synergies and the intrinsic value of the firm are compared with the offer price. Full data sets for each chapter are available online.
