The Truth about Finance
Many professionals think finance is too complicated – or that it’s something only CFOs and the finance department need to know about. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Finance impacts all areas of an organisation. It influences strategy, affects operations – and informs marketing activities. When you understand the basics of finance, you can make better business decisions – whatever your role is.
In this white paper, Prof Wouter De Maeseneire explains essential finance terminology – and sets out why you should make sure you know the finance fundamentals.
In this white paper, you’ll learn:
- That a minimum of financial knowledge is highly recognised and appreciated by every company, as this simply enables you to make better business decisions.
- How broad the field is – it is for sure not a small isolated domain but one with many links to other management domains, such as strategy, supply chain and operations, marketing, and many more.
