About the Book

These case studies offer a unique perspective on making financial decisions in a globalizing world. The cases build the basics of understanding international financial markets - including the economics of exchange rates and international asset allocation - and then consider how firm financing and investment decisions must adapt to international circumstances. The cases provide the opportunity to consider the most critical firm financial decisions - from foreign exchange hedging strategies, the financing of multinational firm subsidiaries, cross-border valuation, to how to measure and manage the risks of operating in emerging markets. Mihir A. Desai is the Rock Center Associate Professor in the Finance and Entrepreneurial Management areas and the MBA Class of 1961 Fellow at Harvard Business School. He teaches International Financial Management at HBS using the case studies in this book. He is a Faculty Research Fellow of the NBER and his research has been cited in The Economist, BusinessWeek, The New York Times, and several other publications. Details of his research can be found at www.people.hbs.edu/mdesai.
