Financial Management, Global Edition, 4th edition

Hallmark Features

Student-centric learning material centers around three major competencies

• Updated - key finance concepts, including TVM (time value of money), rates of return, and interest rates, are developed early on in the book so students can later apply them to complex financial problems.
• Making Connections between basic principles and key concepts helps students apply their knowledge to real financial problems.
• Studying for Success facilitates students’ retention of the material and tests their ability to grapple complex financial problems.
• Study aids teach students three methods for solving any complex problems—calculator, equation, and spreadsheet—developing a “do-it-yourself” attitude towards choosing the best method.
• Preparing for Exams builds confidence in anxious students by exposing them to common exam problems.

Material highly stresses connections with applications to real-world situations, and problem-solving

• NEW - Reviewer suggestions help clarify topics, present enhanced examples, and arrange the order of topic presentations.
• NEW and UPDATED - Text introduces core concepts of finance in a way that reconnects the student to his or her personal financial experiences, provides student-centered feedback in a timely and understandable fashion, and then uses such experiences as a springboard into the world of corporate finance.
• NEW - Chapter 14 provides additional insight on ratio analysis by expanding the horizon for analysis, with data comparisons over an extended time frame.
• NEW - Chapter 16 teaches students to distinguish between the value of a firm as a whole and its value to the owner.
• Putting Finance to Work are widely varied career snapshots that demonstrate how finance is used in various unrelated fields, helping non-finance majors understand how the material can be applied to various fields they may plan to pursue.
