This is an introductory text on the use of derivatives in corporate risk management. Fairly unique in its focus, it resembles a cross between a general introduction to risk management, such as Marrison (2002), and an introduction to financial engineering, such as Hull (2002). It differs from the former in that it focuses primarily on the management of market risks through derivatives hedging. It differs from the latter in that it only scratches the surface of derivatives pricing theory. It also touches on topics neither of those other books address—such as the debate about corporate hedging.
