Our overall aim is to provide a lively and appealing website with writings on business and finance targeted at a wide range of readers. Economic historians have noted that modern finance is a relatively young field with only five decades of work under its belt. Management theory is also of a similar vintage,  if you consider Peter Drucker’s book The Practice of Management in 1954 as its birth. We argue that notwithstanding its age, the advances made in financial research and breakthroughs in management concepts have to date, far surpassed that of many other academic fields. Every now and then, we witness how the sub-fields of other major disciplines merge with financial theories to give birth to new and exciting offspring. This site hopes to recount to its readers the joy and pain of a young discipline finding its way into existence!

Translating this vision into practice, we hope that our visitors comprising students, professionals and academics will take with them at each visit, an idea, concept, argument or an existing theory and more importantly see how we apply them to the real world. In other words, we promise something for everyone. We also hope that the busy professionals will find our feature articles a useful reality check on what’s going on and why it is so.

It is hoped that interested reader will visit our site to understand financial theory and management concepts not from a bunch of boffins, but from practitioners. Written in lively non-academic language we hope to provide readers with that one missing jigsaw that often completes the puzzle. In doing so, we may on the odd occasion compromise accuracy for understandability. However, we will provide interested readers with sufficient guidance to further develop the understanding.

Lastly, to the academics at large we say thank you for the guidance, without which this site will not be possible. Your interest in this site will for now be mostly pedagogical. However, we hope to work with academics in the future to develop educational content targeted at specific learning organizations and corporations.
