Recognizing that nearly all business texts are written by academics, Wessex Press has developed a practical new series that succinctly covers essential management topics. Written by experienced professionals, these books present relevant concepts in a concise and easy-to-understand manner. The second book in the series — Fast-Track Corporate Finance — expertly references global differences in finance, adjustments to the economic recession and recovery, new topics in debt and equity, and other challenges facing financial managers in the 21st century.  The text covers a semester’s worth of topics, is replete with supportive materials such as PowerPoint slides, cases, test questions and answers, and teaching ideas, and is an invaluable resource that can be used to improve financial practices and not just have students earn a grade.

Author James Sagner has been a consultant to nearly 250 global corporations and nonprofits, and was a banker with First National Bank of Chicago (now JPMorgan Chase). For over fifteen years, he was a professor, teaching graduate business at colleges in New York and Connecticut, and executive education at the University of North Carolina. Sagner earned his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and his PhD from American University, along with two professional certifications. An accomplished author of eleven previous books and sixty journal articles, his text, Cashflow Reengineering, was named among the top 100 best finance books ever written. Sagner currently resides near New York City.
