Life is filled with choices. Choosing your own text usually is not one of them. Until now. INTRODUCTION TO CORPORATE FINANCE, 2E brings real choices to finance. Corporate finance isn't just for majors. Countless classrooms are packed with nonmajors -- who may be intimidated by the course or wonder why they have to take it.

With four basic versions of the text, Professors Megginson and Smart offer true choice. They present financial concepts in the context of real-world examples and hands-on applications -- giving you illustrations that relate to your life. They combine theoretically sound text with fully integrated SmartFinance learning tools to equip you with a solid understanding of corporate finance concepts and the ability to effectively apply them to business. Creating a text that is fluid and friendly, the authors used the S.M.A.R.T. program to identify key resources. As a result, (S)tudy, (M)ap, (A)ccess, (R)eview, (T)est enables you to see the entire chapter as a whole and put concepts into action.
