A Casebook
by Mihir A. Desai
(John Wiley & Sons)
These case studies, by Associate Professor Desai, consider how major financial and investment decisions must adapt to the opportunities and obstacles in a rapidly globalizing world. The book begins by developing an understanding of international capital markets. Several cases go inside multinational firms to consider how hedging strategies can be devised, how to value assets around the world, and how to pursue major financings that capitalize on distinct legal and tax rules. The final module of cases considers how distinct institutional environments alter financing decision-making around the world.
