Find The Theory and Practice of Investment Management by Frank J. Fabozzi in Hardcover - Revised Ed. and other formats in Business & Economics > Finance - General.

Dieses Kapitel soll den Leser in die faszinierende Welt des Investment Banking einführen: Wer sind die Akteure? Was sind deren Aufgaben und Ziele? Wie beeinflussen wirtschaftliche, politische und rechtliche Rah­ menbedingungen die Tätigkeit der Investment Banker? Welche Institu­ tionen dominieren und wie ist deren Struktur? Obwohl nun viel über Investment Banker geschrieben wurde, ist man weit davon entfernt, Einigung über den Begriff Investment Banking zu erzielen. Zudem stellt »die Anglisierung des internationalen Investment Banking eine vollkommene Eroberung der Usancen, Termini und Stan­ dards der weltweiten Financial Community dar. Für einen Kulturkampf wider die Überfremdung der Begriffe ist schon deshalb keine Lanze zu brechen, weil dieser Kampf tatsächlich längst verloren ist. «l Von einer weiteren, den bisherigen Dschungel an Uneinheitlichkeit erweiternden Definition möchte ich daher Abstand nehmen. So ist denn auch die Auf­ gabe dieses Kapitels, welches sich mit folgenden Aspekten des Investment Banking des näheren auseinandersetzt, wenig beschreibender Natur: ~ Geschäftstätigkeiten der Investment Banker ~ Geschichte der Investmentbanken ~ Organisatorische Grösse und Struktur von Investmentbanken 1. 1. Geschäftstätigkeiten der Investment Banker Manche meinen, eine genaue Begriffsbestimmung erleichtere die Kom­ munikation; andere behaupten, Definitionen seien der Wahrheitsfindung hinderlich, da oftmals wichtige Aspekte ausgeklammert werden. Schliess­ lich definiert der Fortgeschrittene um zu kommunizieren, nicht um Wahrheiten zu erforschen. Auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit, gerät man denn auch auf Irrwege: Investment Banking Is What Investment Bankers Do.

This book provides an introduction to investment appraisal and presents a range of methods and models, some of which are not widely known, or at least not well covered by other textbooks. Each approach is thoroughly described, evaluated and illustrated using examples, with its assumptions and limitations analyzed in terms of their implications for investment decision-making practice. Investment decisions are of vital importance to all companies. Getting these decisions right is crucial but, due to a complex and dynamic business environment, this remains a challenging management task. Effective appraisal methods are valuable tools in supporting investment decision-making. As organisations continue to seek a competitive edge, it is increasingly important that management accountants and strategic decision-makers have a sound knowledge of these tools.
