Book excerpt: Financial management practices are likely to have a marked effect on the financial performance of a corporate enterprise. Therefore, sound financial decisions/practices can contribute towards meeting the desired objective of having profitable operations. This subject assumes paramount significance in view of the present dynamic and turbulent business environment, which has produced more intense competition and smaller profit margins across the world. In this context, the financial management practices of the corporates in India, a country with a vast potential for economic growth, can offer valuable insights. The present study explores whether there has been a major change in the financial performance (measured in terms of profitability) and financial policies/decisions of the sample companies over a fixed period (2000-2001 to 2010-2011), with a special focus on pre and post-recession analysis. It delves deeper into current research areas such as zero working capital, real options in capital budgeting, pecking order in capital structures, and clause 49 as reflected in the financial management decisions of sample companies, and provides a broader perspective by identifying trends (if any) in certain aspects of financial decision-making over the past two decades. A comprehensive study, covering all the major aspects of financial management practices, also contains an inter-sectoral study (among the sample companies) and develops an index of professionalism in financial management based on the practices of the sample companies. The book is primarily targeted at teachers/students of finance, management, commerce, accounting and related professional disciplines/fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not too uncommon to note practice differs from theory. As theory is constructed based on a framework of 'ideal conditions', its application in real - not so ideal - conditions is definitely a challenge. However unreal the theoretical conditions look, they are necessary to understand things better and deeper. Executives make modifications in models and theorists absorb those modifications in coming out with newer - may be more practical - models. There were complaints by executives and there were corrections by theorists. New theories/models/concepts kept coming in. The current survey is an attempt to assess the gap between theory and practice. The results of this survey are very much in line with the propositions of theory. It is also important to note that corporate Indian is fast catching the new methodologies. While 40 percent of the respondents considered EVA as the goal of the firm, 44 percent are using CAPM to estimate the cost of equity. However 44 percent still preferring Pay Back Period as the project selection tool.
