This volume presents an understanding of corporate financial performance. The authors review both the factors that cause the financial performance of some firms to be better than others, and also those factors that influence the trajectory of firm financial performance over time. In addressing these issues, the book considers theoretical and empirical work on financial performance, drawn from several literatures, as well as presenting empirical results.
