Introduction
What is Financial decision making? All businesses continually need finance to maintain their existence. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that businesses exist because of money to make more money. Initiation of a business, setting up of an enterprise, purchasing inventories, hiring employees, manufacturing products, paying rents, putting up advertisements, buying machinery, paying a dividend to shareholders- each and every activity has its emergence because of finance.
