ISBN: 9781265074159 Worldwide edition of Essential Concepts of Corporate Finance 14th Edition authored by Richard A. Brealey, Stewart C. Myers, Franklin Allen, Alex Edmans Student textbook exclusively. No Access Code included. The most recent edition within the Essential Concepts of Corporate Finance lineage, the fourteenth edition continues in its tradition of demonstrating how theory applies to the highly practical issues and decisions encountered by financial managers. Evaluating the actions and rationale behind financial managers, the book aims to impart readers with a solid comprehension of theory so that they are adept at formulating relevant queries when circumstances alter and novel problems necessitate analysis, ultimately serving as a point of reference and a manual to aid them in rendering financial decisions, not simply analyzing them. This fresh edition introduces Alex Edmans to the author cohort, whose global acumen and proficiency in corporate governance, ethical business practices, and behavioral finance have been invaluable in enhancing coverage of these subjects. An entire chapter is dedicated to the theme of harmonizing shareholder value with advancing the interests of all stakeholders, delineating potential conflicts inherent in this approach, and how an ethical business should conduct itself. There have been several modifications to chapter organization as well as expanded discourse on topics that have gained significance since the prior edition including behavioral finance, and financial innovation driven by AI, big data, and cloud computing. Moreover, the scope of the book has expanded to encompass a more global outlook, introducing more insights and perspectives on major emerging economies such as China and India, while delving into the divergent financing and governance practices across the globe. The new edition upholds and extends the educational elements of prior editions, with updated chapter content summaries, new self-assessment queries interspersed at strategic junctures, and a plethora of additional illustrative examples accessible online through links within the text.
