Praise for Practical Financial Management "Dmitri Faguet's Practical Financial Management is a comprehensive and invaluable tool for financial managers. The book covers key issues critical to financial management including Excel-based programs pertinent to day-to-day business applications. Faguet bridges the gap between theory and practical application, effectively guiding financial managers to daily business success." -Shunichi Inaba, Senior Manager, Mizuho Financial Group "Dmitri Faguet is well aware of current events in the changing world and is the most qualified person to write a modern book on practical financial management." -Jean L. Gonthiez, French industrialist "This is an outstanding work destined to become an everyday handbook of practical financial managers. It is simple in its presentation of complex financial concepts that are vital for forecasting, monitoring, and correction of daily activities of modern business. The book gives a reader pragmatic tools based on common sense and sharp analysis. It is stimulating reading for anyone aspiring to become a successful financial manager." -Dmitry Levin, Global Boardroom Solutions "As the author writes: 'a good financial manager does not live in a vacuum but in a real working company.' This book helps the financial manager plan so that the company divisions can jointly achieve their goals. The author's international background provides practical insight into the traps awaiting the unwary in today's trans-border trading, while he shows us how to analyze all phases of a company's operations by example." -C. William Gear, President Emeritus, NEC Research Institute

De la solapa interior

Many corporate leaders come from a financial background, yet many more come from a nonfinancial discipline such as marketing, engineering, or programming, to name a few. In an increasingly global marketplace, all executives need a firm handle on basic financial management strategies in order to ensure their company's immediate survival and ultimate success. Dmitri Faguet's reader-friendly guide provides a focused and practical overview of the key aspects of the everyday financial management of a company. The author divides Practical Financial Management into two sections. The first covers such topics as: * Project evaluation based on the net present value concept * Budget preparation for a commercial company * Product pricing and capacity management in manufacturing * Basics of financial reporting of economic results, using two formats * Credit control * Cash management and fixed asset management in an inflationary environment The second section presents practical models of business optimization analysis and forecasting of demand, and concludes with a brief discussion of the overall business efficiency issues in terms of customer relationship, supply chain, and working capital management. The author takes a hands-on approach throughout, encouraging readers to test their understanding of the subject, rather than simply immersing them in abstract theories. With the help of a CD-ROM with several carefully written Excel models that apply the book's conceptual material to real-world situations, readers will be able to analyze real figures and simulate the decision-making processes they experience in their own organizations. Practical Financial Management also focuses on integrating the disparate departments of a business, specifically the sales and manufacturing functions. Too often, the author argues, these functions work independently of one another, communicating only through an exchange of prices during annual budget preparation. Chapter 6, "Business Optimization Program," bridges the gap between these two functions in a company, offering a model that weaves the price elasticity of demand curves in sales with the transfer price sensitivity curves in manufacturing, creating a truly integrated business enterprise. Every corporate leader requires a firm grasp of basic financial management principles and procedure in order to effectively run his or her business. CEOs, CFOs, assistant controllers, and assistant treasurers will appreciate Dmitri Faguet's practical, hands-on approach to this essential management function.
