John Case 出版社: Harvard Business Review Press 副标题: A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean 出版年: 2006-1-1 页数: 288 定价: GBP 18.99 装帧: Hardcover ISBN: 9781591397649
Companies expect managers to use financial data to allocate resources and run their departments. But many managers can’t read a balance sheet, wouldn’t recognize a liquidity ratio, and don’t know how to calculate return on investment. Worse, they don’t have any idea where the numbers come from or how reliable they really are.
Companies expect managers to use financial data to allocate resources and run their departments. But many managers can’t read a balance sheet, wouldn’t recognize a liquidity ratio, and don’t know how to calculate return on investment. Worse, they don’t have any idea where the numbers come from or how reliable they really are.
In Financial Intelligence, Karen Berman and Joe Knight teach the basics of finance—but with a twist. Financial reporting, they argue, is as much art as science. Since nobody can quantify everything, accountants always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls. Savvy managers need to know how those sources of possible bias can affect the financials—and they need to know that sometimes the numbers can be challenged.
While providing the foundation for a deep understanding of the financial side of business, the book also arms managers with practical strategies for improving their companies’ performance—strategies such as “managing the balance sheet” that are well understood by financial professionals but rarely shared with their nonfinancial colleagues.
Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories of real companies, Financial Intelligence will help nonfinancial managers be smarter and more confident in their everyday work.

虽然说是给非财务专业的职业经理人写的，但有些新的视角让我觉得作为财务经理也能获益良多。作者是教授和CFO，内容上案例和概念相结合，基本上把大学的《财务管理》核心用简单精炼的方法提炼出来了。更重要的是行文幽默风趣，书还挺薄。值得推荐
