The book is addressed to both Polish and international students taking the courses in corporate finance. It should be treated as an introductory reading as it provides fundamentals of core aspects of corporate financial management. Many of the issues which are raised in this book can be ex-tended and taken under deeper analysis during lectures and classes or with-in self-study. The book consists of eighteen chapters grouped in five parts. Each part covers core issues within one selected area of a decision-making process. Part I presents a framework of corporate finance decisions and includes five chapters providing an overview of the fundamental concepts of corpo-rate finance. A reader will find here a scope of core decisive areas within managing cor-porate finance, definition of corporation and its comparison to other forms of business organisation, as well as the contemporary views on the objec-tive of corporate finance. This part ends with two chapters that aim at providing core aspects of two basic tools in managing corporate finance – the understanding of information included in the financial statements and the time value of money account.
