The aim of this book is to equip the reader with the skill set to succeed in stewarding the financial vitality of a Corporate and Enterprise business entity. You will need to acquire the acumen discussed in this book in order to manage and sustain a Corporate and Enterprise organization. The core of this book is business and accounting, financial signals, warning flags and Indicators, all useful for monitoring a business's sustainability and vitality and for avoiding situations where liabilities exceed assets. Failure is NOT an option!
This book pairs with the author's previous Operations Management: Back to Business Basics textbook (2026). The latter was a proverbial "Glue That Keeps It Together" comprehensive business textbook from an Operations Management perspective. A complementary section (Appendix Four) in that book describes: Financial Statements and the "Numbers and Ratios you Need to Know," providing yet additional valuable information. This book refocuses the reader on the existential goal of avoiding collapse and insolvency rather than on operations management, logistics, planning, business organization, value and supply chains, capacity and inventory, resource planning, and quality management. The metaphor: The postmortem exam is used because, in pathology, much can be learned from what came before (the business legacy in this case), as well as from errors, decline, and Chapter 11 bankruptcies that signify business dissolution, which one must avoid. Indeed, the challenge is to identify the precursor dynamic conditions and red flags and Indicators, particularly vulnerabilities and liabilities, for the continuous monitoring of a business's "health."
