Product Description
Product Description
Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe and Jordan was written to convey the most important corporate finance concepts and applications as a level that is approachable to the widest possible audience. The concise format, managerial context and design, and student-friendly writing style are key attributes in this text. We took the best from RWJ Fundamentals and RWJ Corporate to create a book that fits an underserved need in the market. RWJJ Core Principles strikes a balance by introducing and covering the essentials, while leaving more specialized topics to follow-up courses. This text distills the subject of corporate finance down to its core, while also maintaining a deciding modern approach. The well-respected author team is known for their clear, accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent teaching tool.

corporate finance is a useful module for my financial study, although it is a little bit difficult to understand, enough graphs and tables will be more helpful and improving personal understanding.Excellent!

Or their publishers,at any rate. While Ross et al. may present few new treasures for the advanced corporate finance practitioner, they serve up the basics in a highly readable, concise, and succinct style. As a neophyte to finance, I struggled through the turgid Brealey & Myers hash; the Ross book was a sufficient anodyne to the B&M poison. A fine field manual for the novice and intermediate student, and a good jumping off point for more advanced study. Don't trust anyone who dislikes this book---they probably get commissions from Brealey & Myers.
