Practical problems in corporation finance that mirror real-world cases
This collection presents typical scenarios drawn from actual experiences to help students learn by solving and discussing real financial decisions. The material emphasizes judgment, not one right answer, and connects classroom work to how boards and managers think about capital, leverage, and policy.
This edition frames each problem in plain terms and uses concise setups to prompt clear analysis. It is grounded in the author’s teaching at Harvard and is designed to build problem-solving skills that transfer to corporate finance practice.
- Most problems come from real situations, with key facts highlighted to focus on financial principles.
- The book highlights the difference between corporate finance and investment perspectives.
- Guidance on how to approach solutions, discuss trade-offs, and justify judgments.
- Preface and teacher notes describe how to use the problems effectively in a classroom or study group.
Ideal for students studying corporate finance, investment, or business policy, and for professionals seeking practical casework to sharpen judgment and decision-making.
