[edit] Managerial Finance vs. Corporate Finance
The table of contents from the linked reference could concievably be used to draw an outline of the subjects the topic covers. I had personally never heard of managerial finance as a separate topic from corporate finance. To me, any business large enough to pay to have that type of analysis done should be incorporated in some form of C or S-corp or at least an LLC, and therefore the analysis would fall under corporate finance and make the topic of managerial finance redundant. It appears enough others feel different that a textbook has been written. - Taxman 15:24, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
- The term is not used very much any more. When I first studied the subject it was called managerial finance. I still have several managerial finance textbooks. Sometime in the 1980s corporate finance became the more popular term. I don't think we need to cover it in much detail. mydogategodshat 18:07, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
- Managerial finance is called corporate finance when the organization is a corporation. But large non-profits also use managerial accounting techniques, have treasury functions, etc. Hence the need for the broader name. Egfrank 21:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
