Global Derivatives provides comprehensive coverage of different types of
derivatives, including exchange traded contracts and over-the-counter instruments as well
as real options. There is an equal emphasis on the practical application of
derivatives and their actual uses in business transactions and corporate risk management
situations.
Various uses of financial derivatives are outlined from relatively simple transactional
hedging problems to more complex strategic risk management situations and applications of
options perspectives in corporate risk management scenarios.
This book is ideal for MBA and undergraduate students with a finance or management
focus.
"An interesting and useful approach to the study of derivatives."
George Christodoulakis, City University, UK
