The analysis of the microstructure of financial markets has been one of the most important areas of research in finance and has allowed scholars and practitioners alike to have a much more sophisticated understanding of the dynamics of price formation in financial markets. Frank de Jong and Barbara Rindi provide an integrated graduate level textbook treatment of the theory and empirics of the subject, starting with a detailed description of the trading systems on stock exchanges and other markets and then turning to economic theory and asset pricing models. Special attention is paid to models explaining transaction costs, with a treatment of the measurement of these costs and the implications for the return on investment. The final chapters review recent developments in the academic literature. End-of-chapter exercises and downloadable data from the book's companion website provide opportunities to revise and apply models developed in the text.

MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF INVENTORY Inventory means stock of goods. To finance managers inventory connotes the value of raw material, consumables spares and stores, work in progress and finished goods, in which the company’s fund have been invested. We can identify inventory as those goods which are procured, stored and used for day-to-day functioning of the organisation. Today’s inventory is tomorrow’s consumption. The classical definition of inventory is that it is an ideal resource of anything having an economic value. From this it follows that inventory control is a planning and devising procedure to maintain an optimal level of idle resources. Inventory deals with the determination of optimal procedures for procuring stock of commodities to meet future demand. The inventory of the retailer or the manufacturer, can be taken as a paradigm. In order to sell an item he must maintain a stock of that item to meet the demand.
