Work more effectively and gauge your progress along the way! This Study Guide is designed to accompany Shapiro’s Foundations of Multinational Financial Management, 5th Edition. It contains detailed chapter outlines and a number of solved questions and problems. Now updated and reorganized, Alan Shapiro's Foundations of Multinational Financial Management, 5th Edition, emphasizes broad concepts and practices, and provides a clear conceptual framework for analyzing key financial decisions in multinational firms. The text treats international financial management as a natural and logical extension of the principles learned in the foundations course in financial management. Thus, it builds on and extends the valuation framework provided by domestic corporate finance to account for dimensions unique to international finance.

Focused on real-life decision making in an international context, this text demystifies and simplifies multinational financial management by showing that it is a natural and logical extension of the principles and valuation framework provided by domestic corporate financial management-but with dimensions unique to international finance.

The principal message of this book is that international financial enterprises must be reoriented towards funding productive activities rather than potentially destabilizing speculation. The effects of financial sector operations are addressed with serious warnings that the dangers of speculative destabilization are increasing as regulatory and market discipline gradually weakens. The Structural Foundations of International Finance examines the ways in which national economies, especially those of industrialized countries, are affected by the operations of international financial markets. Although these markets provide productive funding, there is also much speculative trading in stocks and currencies which can cause booms, slumps and hinder recovery. The authors advocate entrepreneurial coordination by productive enterprises for balanced and stable growth, with reduced risks of financial crises and recessions.
