Case Studies in Finance links managerial decisions to capital markets and the expectations of investors. At the core of almost all of the cases is a valuation task that requires students to look to financial markets for guidance in resolving the case problem.

These cases also invite students to apply modern information technology to the analysis of managerial decisions.The cases may be taught in many different combinations.
