Chapter survival toolkit
Overview
This chapter takes a rather interesting journey through sources and uses of finance, and – the flip side of the coin – investment. Apart from anything else, it will help you decide how to use a cash surplus or how to finance a deficit. It should also be useful if you are making investments in other companies, from either a corporate viewpoint or as a personal investor.
