Essentials of Corporate Finance: 2025 Release ISE

Essentials of Corporate Finance by Ross, Westerfield, and Jordan provides a streamlined introduction to the core concepts of corporate finance, focusing on what students from diverse backgrounds need to know. Written in a relaxed, conversational style, the text invites active learning and emphasizes three key themes: intuition, a unified valuation approach, and a managerial focus. Complex financial principles are explained at an intuitive level, with net present value (NPV) as the foundation of corporate finance. By focusing on the role of the financial manager as a decision-maker, the book prepares students to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.
