Title overview

Corporate Finance, Global Edition provides a practical and rigorous introduction to the principles of financial decision-making, equipping students with the tools needed to analyse investments, value businesses, and create long-term value. Built around the powerful concept of the Law of One Price, the text connects financial theory to real-world practice, helping students understand how financial markets work and how managers make decisions in complex business environments. Clear explanations, realistic examples, and a strong focus on valuation ensure students develop a solid foundation in modern corporate finance.

Designed to bridge theory and application, the text encourages students to think and act like financial professionals by tackling the types of challenges faced by organisations today. From capital budgeting and risk management to capital structure, corporate governance, and international finance, students gain both analytical and practical skills. Real-world examples, worked problems, case-based learning, and contemporary discussions of emerging financial issues help learners understand how finance shapes strategic business decisions across global markets.
