Märksõnad:
Contextualising business policy in its economic, institutional and political environment, this practical text shows students how to use financial analysis as a strategic tool.

Case examples including Microsoft & Intel; Shell, Brent Spar & Nigerian Oil; the pharmaceuticals sector and pension provision are used in each chapter, to bring together different themes and theories.
