Features:
· This is a fundamental textbook for corporate finance courses, widely praised and acclaimed. Its clarity, simplicity, and ease of understanding are key highlights. With almost no background in finance and accounting, this book guides you smoothly into the realm of financial management.
· 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 unexpectedly 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 Perspectives" written by seasoned finance professionals from the corporate world not only energize the topics but also bridge the gap between theory and practice. The narrative is engaging, lively, and captivating.

We have revised this edition based on extensive feedback from readers and made its structure more flexible than previous versions.
