The Penguin
Business Dictionary
This dictionary's aim is twofold: to provide a key to the rules and regulations
adopted in the market place, be it in the City of London, the local shopping
precinct or country auction room; and to give clear, accurate definitions
of the often complex language and jargon used in business and financial
practice. Do you know what is meant by 'buffer stock' and 'zero bonds'?
What happens when 'poison-pill tactics' are triggered? Are you baffled
by 'kites', 'lame ducks' and 'kangaroos'? If so, then this is the book
to turn to.
This invaluable reference work has been fully updated to embrace not only
changes wrought by the 1986 Financial Services Act but also increasing
relevance of rules and requirements introduced by the European community.
