Chapter 39

 

From this chapter:

Established in 1970, the FMA is a global leader in developing and disseminating knowledge about financial decision making. The mission of the FMA is to broaden opportunities for professional interaction between and among academicians, practitioners, and students; to promote the development and understanding of basic and applied research and of sound financial practices, and to enhance the quality of education in finance. FMA has an excellent Web site and serves as one of the most comprehensive links to financial information available on the Internet.
According to its editor, Financial Management (FM) serves both academicians and practitioners who are concerned with the financial management of nonfinancial businesses, financial institutions, and public and private not-for-profit organizations. FM's editorial policy is designed to promote interest and knowledge of issues in management and decision making at the company level. The principal criteria are originality, rigor, currency, practical relevance, and clarity. It is an excellent research source. The Web site also has a listing of career centers that FM works with at various universities. An example of an article from FM is "Resolution of Financial Distress: Debt Restructuring via Chapter 11, Prepackaged Bankruptcies and Workouts," by Sris Chatterjee, Upinder Dhillon, and Gabriel Ramirez. ("Financially distressed firms select a debt restructuring method based on the degree of their leverage, the severity of their liquidity crisis, the extent of creditor coordination, and magnitude of their financial distress".)
