Pearson - Principles of Managerial Finance, Brief plus MyFinanceLab, 4/E

In this section:

Description

Gitman's Brief Fourth Edition approaches introductory finance with a focused concentration on the fundamental concepts, techniques, and practices of managerial finance. Through a proven, fully integrated learning system, this streamlined text provides students with a road map through the content. The overarching organization of the text is designed to conceptually link a firm's actions to its value as determined in the securities markets. Each major decision area is presented in terms of both risk and return factors and the potential impact on the owner's wealth.

Principles of Managerial Finance, Brief now comes with MyFinanceLab, Addison-Wesley's online homework, testing, and tutorial system. MyFinanceLab saves instructors time with automatically graded homework, and gives students the benefit of individualized study plans, unlimited practice, and immediate feedback.

Features

Gitman’s proven learning system begins by introducing learning goals at the start of each chapter, and then clearly and consistently reinforcing key concepts in context. End-of-chapter materials summarize and review the learning goals, and the system even carries over into supplemental materials.
Focus on Value, at the end of each chapter, reinforces the link between the financial manager's actions and share value.
This revision brings new examples, new pedagogical features, and an increased emphasis on the ethical implications of financial decisions add currency and depth to the text's effective, consistent framework for learning. The new focus on ethics explores such provocative topics as trusting bond raters and ethical accounting practices.
Across the Disciplines opens every chapter with a discussion of the intersection of the finance topics covered in the chapter with the concerns of other major business disciplines.
A diverse set of pedagogical aids, using real-world examples and exercises, foster students' comprehension of both theory and practice.
-        New and Updated ‘In Practice’ boxes focus readers on important topics using real-world companies to explore areas of Practice, and, new to this edition, Ethics and Global Issues.
-        Spreadsheet Exercises at the end of every chapter and Spreadsheet Solutions in selected chapters demonstrate how many finance problems can be solved using Excel.
-        Marginal Notes enrich text discussion and Key Equations highlight the most important mathematical information.
-        End-of-Chapter Summaries, Warm-Up Exercises, and Problems are tied to Learning Goals.
-        New Warm-Up Exercises, Ethical Problems, Spreadsheet Exercises, and Group Exercises strengthen the pedagogical framework. The totally revised Web Exercises offer students opportunities to solve problems with data and financial information from a variety of online sources.
-        Chapter Cases apply key concepts to a complex, realistic situation.
