Financial Management with the Electronic Spreadsheet

This text responds to the growing need for marketable skills beyond electronic spreadsheet literacy. Financial managers and anyone else who uses and/or produces financial information must be able to organize and manipulate data in meaningful ways. Problem-solving requires choosing the right tool for the job, customizing a tool for a certain task, or building one from the beginning. Knowledge of a particular software programme isn't enough; finance practitioners require an understanding of the underlying design techniques. This book aims to instill student confidence in integrating electronic spreadsheets into the identification, analysis, solution and reporting steps of a financial problem. It builds the electronic spreadsheet skills needed not just to solve financial problems, but to understand spreadsheet modelling both conceptually and practically. Students will require a basic knowledge of Lotus.
