Partnering for Performance

The line that separates the finance unit from the more strategy-focused functions of a corporation needs to be breached, assert the authors of Partnering for Performance. As experienced financial executives, they make a compelling case that finance must "give up its old mindset of driving functional excellence" and work more as an ally and a guide to creating shareholder value. At the same time, they say, other units within companies need to consider the role of finance in a new light. How to bridge the gap is the focus of this persuasive and accessible book.
