International financial systems are increasingly fragile and vulnerable in the face of possible international financial shock. Exchange rate issues and other changes in financial conditions have profound consequences not only for multinational corporations which have to devise new ways of managing their global operations, but also for firms and industries at the national level.
The papers in this book confront these and other problems in international finance that have arisen in recent years, seeking to identify causal linkages at the global, national and company levels.
For university and college professors, researchers and corporate managers interested in financial economics. Also, a supplementary text to doctoral and masters students in finance, economics, management science and OR and more especially, PhD courses in corporate finance.
