The 30 Day MBA in Business Finance

The 30 Day MBA in Business Finance helps readers learn the major points of a business finance curriculum without the expense. It shows them how to become a financial strategist, how to move out of their disciplinary straightjacket, and how to become a top manager. Based on UK accounting practices, this book offers the reader a wide knowledge of finance to make them more marketable as a job candidate. The book includes fifteen case studies, including studies of the Bulgarian government (the most aggressive corporate tax regime in Europe), Lloyd's, Northern Rock, the embattled British bank, and Lehman Brothers, the now bankrupt financial services firm.
