The Making of Modern Corporate Finance

Mark Gandy Season 1 Episode 240

When I think of the CFO's role, a few questions emerge: What will we invest in and reinvest in? How will we finance those investments? What about risk management? And what is the role of corporate governance in these activities?

Not only does Don Chew answer those questions in his new book, but he also gives a name to all of his answers - corporate finance.

In this conversation, Don Chew explains why he wrote The Making of Modern Corporate Finance and how it's different from old-fashioned corporate finance.

Don's book offers insights, inspiration, and even entertainment at times. The book contains only four equations, which can relieve business students intimidated by complex math problems during their university years.
