Why is it important to study international financial management?
Answer: We are now living in a world in which all the main economic functions, that are production, consumption, and investment, are highly globalized. So it is necessary for financial managers to fully understand very important international dimensions of financial management. This global shift is in marked contrast to a condition that existed while the authors of this book were learning finance some twenty years ago. At that time, so many professors customarily (and safely, to some extent) ignored international aspects of finance. This form of operation has become untenable since then.
