How have modern corporate finance practices and principles changed the world of business? How do we improve the financial acumen of non-financial managers and business stakeholders? What's the most common misperception about the role the finance function plays in business?
To help answer these questions, we have Don Chew joining us today on The Balancing Act Podcast. Don is a world-recognized expert on corporate finance and author of The Making of Modern Corporate Finance: A History of the Ideas and How They Help Build the Wealth of Nations. He is the founding editor and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance (JACF), a publication he started in 1988.
Tune into episode 182 to hear Don's story, his career "rocket-booster" moment, and his perspectives on building financial acumen and the role corporate finance plays in the world of business.
