⊙ Ross (renowned professor at MIT Sloan School of Management) has long held a leading position in the market for financial textbooks. This newly developed concise edition has been exceptionally well-received, pioneering a new model for textbook writing.
⊙ By eliminating relatively irrelevant topics and overly mathematical calculations, this book focuses on the overall framework of corporate finance, using core concepts of modern financial management (such as arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return) to deeply explain the theories and methods of modern financial management.
⊙ "Mini Cases" at the beginning of each chapter, "Case Studies" that demonstrate how principles are applied to real-world financial decisions, and "Industry Insights" written by seasoned finance professionals from the business world not only activate the topic but also bridge the gap between theory and practice. The narrative is engaging, lively, and captivating.
⊙ This book is suitable as an introductory textbook for finance majors, as well as a core textbook for students in marketing, operations management, accounting, and MBA programs. The rich and diverse learning materials will be a powerful tool for both teaching and learning.

⊙ "I have taught financial management courses for the ACCA in the UK, the CGA in Canada, and the CMA in the US, using many original textbooks, but a tutorial as clear and accessible as this one is rare."—Zhang Jianping, Professor at the University of International Business and Economics, Vice Dean of the International Business School
