Description

This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content, which is especially relevant to students outside the United States.

For MBA/graduate students taking a course in corporate finance.

An emphasis on modern theory blended with practice elevates students’ financial decision making

Using the valuation framework based on the Law of One Price, top researchers Jonathan Berk and Peter DeMarzo have set the new canon for corporate finance textbooks. Corporate Finance, 5th Edition blends coverage of time-tested principles and the latest advancements with the practical perspective of the financial manager. Students have the opportunity to “practice finance to learn finance” by solving quantitative business problems like those faced by today’s professionals. With built-in resources to help students master the core concepts, students develop the tools they need to make sound financial decisions in their careers.

For a streamlined book specifically tailored to the topics covered in the first one-semester course, Corporate Finance: The Core, 5th Edition is also available by Jonathan Berk and Peter DeMarzo.
