The latest edition in the Principles of Corporate Finance dynasty,
the 14th edition continues in its tradition of showing how theory
applies to the very practical problems and decisions faced by
financial managers. Looking at what financial managers do and why,
the book aims to give readers a solid understanding of theory so
that they know what questions to ask when times change and new
problems need to be analyzed, eventually standing as a reference
and a guide to help them make financial decisions, not just study
them. This new edition welcomes Alex Edmans to the author team,
whose global authority and expertise in corporate governance,
responsible business and behavioural finance have been invaluable
in bolstering coverage of these topics. A new chapter is entirely
dedicated to the subject of balancing shareholder value with
promoting the interests of all stakeholders, the potential
conflicts inherent in this, and how a responsible business should
behave. There have been several changes to chapter structure as
well as expanded discussion of issues that have grown in importance
since the previous edition including behavioural finance, and
financial innovation driven by AI, big data and cloud computing. It
has also grown to take a more international focus, to bring in more
information and perspectives on major developing economies such as
China and India, and looking at how financing and governance
systems differ around the world. The new edition retains and builds
on the pedagogical features of previous editions, with new chapter
content summaries, new self-test questions interspersed at key
points, and a raft of 'Beyond the page' examples available online
through links in the text. Click here to view the sample chapter
Brealey, Fundamentals of Corporate Finance, 11e, is an introduction
to corporate finance focusing on how companies invest in real
assets, how they raise the money to pay for the investments, and
how those assets ultimately affect the firm's value. It also
provides a broad overview of the financial landscape. The book
offers a framework for systematically thinking about most of the
important financial problems that both firms and individuals are
likely to confront: financial management is important, interesting,
and challenging. Fundamentals focuses on setting out the basic
principles of financial management and applying them to the main
decisions faced by the financial manager. The text is also
organized around the key concepts of modern finance. These
concepts, properly explained, simplify the subject. They are also
practical. Financial management tools are easier to grasp and use
effectively when presented in a consistent conceptual framework.
Brealey, Principles of Corporate Finance, 13e, describes the theory
and practice of corporate finance. We hardly need to explain why
financial managers have to master the practical aspects of their
job, but we should spell out why down-to-earth managers need to
bother with theory. Throughout this book, we show how managers use
financial theory to solve practical problems. Much of this book is
concerned with understanding what financial managers do and why.
But we also say what financial managers should do to increase
company value. Some of the biggest changes in this edition were
prompted by the tax changes enacted in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act passed in December 2017. In the current edition, we have also
continued to augment the international content as well as a number
of chapters that have been thoroughly rewritten. For example, the
material on agency issues in Chapter 12 has been substantially
revised. Chapter 13 on market efficiency and behavioral finance is
now fresher and more up to date. Chapter 23 on credit risk focuses
more on the practical issues of forecasting default probabilities.
