Topicality

The manager's financing decision is an often over-looked process. This is despite the complex nature of understanding the numerous motivations, constraints, incentives and influences the manager is faced with; while operating in an environment of imperfect information and uncertainty. Therefore, by its very nature, the study of managerial finance spans several discipline areas, ranging from corporate finance and governance to risk and investment management. The journal provides an outlet for theoretical and empirical research into understanding the operation of managerial finance and its implications for all firm stakeholders.

Key benefits

The journal has an international editorial and advisory board, representing all areas of finance and related disciplines, providing a broad structure to cover managerial finance from a wide range of perspectives. The journal is interested in discussing all aspects of the financial decision making process, as they may apply around the world.
