When we wrote the first edition of Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach, we had four
goals: (1) to create a book that would help managers make better financial decisions; (2) to
motivate students by demonstrating that finance is both interesting and relevant; (3) to
make the book clear enough for students to go through the material without wasting time
trying to figure out what we were trying to say; and (4) to provide a book that covers the
core material necessary for a one-semester introductory MBA course but without all the
other interesting-but-not-essential material that is contained in most MBA texts.
The collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market, the financial crisis, the global economic
crisis, and the Greek bond crisis make it more important than ever for students and
managers to understand the role that finance plays in a global economy, in their own
companies, and in their own lives. So, in addition to the four goals just listed, this edition
has a fifth goal: to prepare students for a changed world.
