Finance for Managers
McGraw-Hill
Eduardo Martínez Abascal
Professor of Finance, IESE
This book explains everything a manager needs to know about finance and transforms seemingly complex financial information into data that makes sense. It shows the financial basics that a manager of any small, medium or large company should know and will leave you confident enough to ask the right business questions and make the correct finance decisions.
The first part (Operational Finance) deals with the basics of financial analysis or analysis of the Profit and Loss and balance sheet, so that they can be used to help make decisions. The second part (Structural Finance) covers investment and financing decisions, as well as how to finance the investments planned. The book finishes with a chapter on valuation of companies.
Each chapter builds on the knowledge acquired in previous chapters and at the end of each chapter there is a summary of the main learning points, together with some self-assessment questions to make sure you have grasped them all. Most of the explanations are based on real cases, the numbers for which can be found in the exhibits at the end of each chapter.

Me leí el libro hace un par de meses por recomendación de un profesor de mi facultad. Pese a que algunos conceptos se me escapaban, muy interesante y siempre trataba de explicar todo de manera precisa.
Lectura muy recomendada.
Excellent introduction, it seems just what I need at this time because my knowledge in the financial area are poor. Surely in the next few days I will be buying a copy of this book. Thank you very much.
Espero que el libro sea tan didácticos como otros trabajos del profesor Martinez Abascal al que sigo desde hace años y del que he aprendido mucho en materia de gestión financiera. Aprovecharé kas vacaciones de verano para leerlo.
Libro interesante. En toda mi vida laboral he podido observar, tanto en pequeñas como en grandes empresas, gerentes o directores comerciales que no tienen ninguna visión de su mercado (algunos por pereza, otros por incompetencia, etc…) y sobretodo: que no saben lo que quieren ni hacia dónde se dirigen.
Tantas veces he pensado en la posibilidad de que se «acadenizaran» un poco, pero no aceptan el hecho de que uno tiene que reciclarse. Así que libros como estos, podrían ser muy interesantes, si queremos que ciertas empresas mal dirigidas no desaparezcan.
Felicidades por tu post.
Claro, preciso, práctico y ameno. Muy recomendable y una buena herramienta para directivos sin ser necesario un gran nivel de finanzas como es mi caso.
Al nivel de un profesor brillante, que no es poco.
