'Corporate finance is a complex subject?and it is often misunderstood. Dr Tse?s contribution is to simplify (in a good way) finance and get to the essence of what really matters. It is an important read for those who want to better understand how finance impacts corporate decisions.' - Christophe Y. Le Caillec, SVP and CFO of Global Consumer Services, American Express
'In his usual energetic fashion, Professor Tse elegantly walks us through what may appear to be an otherwise mundane and difficult topic. Given global uncertainties, I found his focus on important themes ? such as liquidity, working capital and free cash flow management ? particularly pertinent.' - Christian Leibl, Managing Director, Head of Capital Structure Adviser, Lloyds Banking Group
