CEOS.PP researcher presents book 'Finanças Empresariais'

Paulo Alcarva, a lecturer at FCEP and researcher at CEOS.PP, will present his book Finanças Empresariais on 18 November at 7.00 pm, in a session to be held in the FCEP Grand Auditorium.

The book is a finance textbook aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as managers, finance executives and banking sector professionals seeking a rigorous and practice-oriented approach. Spanning 16 chapters, the book covers fundamental topics in corporate finance, including financial analysis, the structure and cost of capital, financing and risk management instruments, business valuation, and mergers and acquisitions.

One of the book’s central principles is the creation of corporate value, based on the relationship between the return on invested capital and its cost. To bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and professional practice, the textbook incorporates a case study from the industrial sector, which is developed across the various chapters.

Set within a European and Portuguese context, the publication also focuses on the specific characteristics of the national business landscape, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the features of their financing system.

The launch event will begin with a speech by Manuel Moreira da Silva, Director of FCEP and researcher at CEOS.PP, followed by a presentation of the book by Professor Armando Silva, Coordinator of the Porto Executive Academy and researcher at CEOS.PP.
