Intermediate Financial Management 15th Edition by Eugene F. Brigham/Phillip R. Daves
Quick Navigation

Overview

The only text written specifically for today's intermediate or advanced corporate finance course, Brigham/Daves' "Intermediate Financial Management," 15th Edition, blends conceptual theories with practical financial skills. The authors offer a clear, comprehensive presentation that reinforces coverage from earlier corporate finance courses before delving into new content that guides students through today's recent developments. Corporate valuation is used as a unifying theme to emphasize the theoretic groundwork for value maximization and highlight the practical details of financial and business decision-making. Business examples, applied financial analytics cases and integrated and extensive Excel® spreadsheet models illustrate how financial theory in practice leads to solid financial decisions. MindTap digital resources provide support for you and interactive tools for your students.
