| Summary: | "Expertly surveying the realm of corporate finance, this adroitly-crafted Handbook offers a wealth of conceptual analysis and comprehensively outlines recent scholarly research and developments within the field. It not only delves into the theoretical dimensions of corporate finance, but also explores its practical implications, thereby bridging the gap between these distinct strands. Featuring contributions from eminent scholars, chapters cover a wide range of central topics including corporate financing and payout policies, investment decisions and mergers and acquisitions. The Handbook also presents state-of-the-art thinking and evidence on key issues within these areas of study, namely product market competition, labour contracts and governance arrangements that protect the interests of capital providers. It further examines some of the most critical decisions made by corporate financial managers, setting out a number of unresolved issues that should be addressed in future scholarly inquiry. Innovative and accessible, the Handbook of Corporate Finance will prove to be a fundamental resource for established academics and students interested in corporate governance, economics and finance, and business and management. Practitioners in the corporate finance world will similarly find this to be a beneficial read"--
