About the author
RICHARD STUTELY During his professional career, Richard has gained unique practical
insight into strategic, operational and nancial planning from all angles – particularly pre-
paring, approving and using business plans.
When he worked at HM Treasury (the British nance ministry), he dealt with business
planning on the grandest scale – relating to the national economy and public expenditure
controls. During this period he was also involved with world economic developments,
parliamentary aairs and corporate taxation, and was a press ocer presenting the then-
new monetary policy of the Conservative government.
Subsequently, as a member of the London Stock Exchange, an investment banker and
later a general manager of an international commercial bank, he viewed business plans in
connection with debt, equity and o-balance sheet funding. More recently, as managing
director of multinational technology companies, he has handled business planning
focused on exploiting rapid change. He also is director or non-executive director of several
companies, and a trustee of two charities – giving him strategic insight into planning for
trading, service and non-prot organisations.
Richard has been interviewed in newspapers and on radio and television around the world,
he lectures MBA and other audiences, and he has written extensively for publications such as
The Economist, Accountancy and The Banker. He has also been a governor and treasurer of a
British private school, a member of Mensa and is a member of The Institute of Directors.
Other books by Richard Stutely include: The Denitive Guide to Business Finance (also
published by FT Prentice Hall); The Economist Guide to Economic Indicators (published in
America as The Economist Guide to Global International Indicators ), which aids understanding
of the wider environment for business; The Economist Numbers Guide (published in America
as The Economist Guide to Business Numeracy), which covers many major techniques to
assist management decision-making; and Advanced Desktop Publishing, a practical guide
