Stock Markets and Corporate Finance: A Primer delves into the intricacies of the stock market and its profound implications for corporate management. In the backdrop of financial institutions and business finance, this revised text encourages students to recognize that traditional notions of corporate finance can no longer be treated as dogma but rather as fragile models of reality. At the heart of this text lies the philosophy that financial institutions and corporate/business finance are best understood in relation to one another.

This revised edition, published in 2017, has undergone a restructuring process, eliminating certain chapters that were deemed interesting but excessively academic. This additional space has been utilized to update the chapter on "Financial Institutions and a History of Stock Markets," as well as to account for the unique circumstances of the post-COVID-19 era. The chapter on "Financial Planning and Working Capital" has been reworked to showcase how a firm's financial management team can interrogate its financial accounts to evaluate the viability of the firm and the management of its working capital.

By engaging with this book, readers will gain valuable insights into the behavior and significance of financial institutions and firms as portrayed in the media, as well as their impact on their personal lives. To reinforce the chapter material, exercises and solutions have been designed, while animated PowerPoint presentations serve as supplementary material to enhance the learning experience.
