Synopsis
Essentials of Corporate Finance is a concise text that focuses on the core concepts and theories required to meet the needs of the brief finance course as well as the non-finance major student. It provides a relaxed conversational writing style that engages students in the learning process. The text incorporates real world business examples, and emphasizes the use of financial information to make decisions, helping students to understand "why" financial decisions are made, not just "how".
Canadian content is heavily integrated throughout the text, including Canadian coverage on taxation and regulations. Canadian examples appear in the boxed material, end-of-chapter problems and mini-cases. The finance websites include Canadian financial data, government organizations, and professional financial associations.
