Principles of Corporate Finance – Textbook, as well as the eponymous study subject, provides the basic knowledge and skills needed for quality financial management in a company. Students will become familiar with the key concepts and tools of financial management, which are necessary for long-term management and planning of financial resources. Although finance is only a support for business, it is an absolutely necessary part of the establishment, existence and development of the company. Sometimes finance is compared to the role of blood circulation for a person's life - it is not visible at first glance, but it is impossible without it. The book gradually focuses on key areas that have an impact on the typical basic goal of a company, i.e. the value growth - basic factors affecting the corporate value, the choice of financial sources and the possibilities of their optimization, work with risk, evaluation of financial performance, profit distribution, investment decisions and the causes of business crises and the possibilities of their solution.
