Praise for International Corporate Finance
"Professor Jacque's book allies conceptual rigor with practical relevance drawn from multiple case studies. A highly recommended book to those who teach international finance at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."
-Gabriel Hawawini, the Henry Grunfeld Chaired Professor of Investment Banking and former Dean, INSEAD
"Professor Jacque's new book serves as a right-sized, real-life manual of the complexity and adventure of international finance. Most importantly, it accomplishes this goal without short-cutting the relevant theoretical concepts underpinning the instruments of global finance. This book is compass, interactive study manual, theoretical reference guide, and last but not least, case-based financial adventure novel, all in one."
-Oliver S. Kratz, PhD, CEO of Global Thematic Partners
"Many business school graduates arrive in corporate finance departments with strong analytical skills and even a broad understanding of international finance concepts, but they have seldom grappled with the application of theory to real business problems. This text is rich with contemporary examples, case studies, and realistic problems."
-Craig Owens, Senior Vice President and CFO, Campbell Soup
"In this book, Laurent Jacque does a superb job of combining modern concepts of international finance with a keen eye to their application in the context of the business firm and exceptional exposition that places a premium on capturing, simplifying, and retaining what are sometimes complex relationships. It is a book that deserves to quickly become one of the leaders in its field."
-Ingo Walter, Seymour Milstein Professor of Finance, Corporate Governance and Ethics, Stern School of Business, New York University
"Finally, here is a comprehensive book which combines lucid exposition, sound analysis, intellectual rigor and emphasis on practical applications through well-chosen examples and cases. Professor Jacque has written a well-balanced book that takes the reader systematically through the theory and practice of corporate finance in the context of the contemporary global economy."
-Cheng Chih Sung, Retired Chief Risk Officer, GIC, Singapore
