This text has enjoyed incredible success in the last two editions. The introductory corporate finance market has embraced the "essentialized" product. The message for this edition of Essentials continues from the second edition - this is THE text for both finance and non-finance majors. The authors continue to maintain a corporate finance framework but have enhanced general business topics wherever appropriate.
