- Customise to suit your course! Although the text is sequential, instructors can assign almost any chapter as a self-contained unit. This flexibility enables instructors to customise the text to various teaching strategies and course lengths.
- Gitman’s proven learning system begins by introducing learning goals at the start of each chapter, and then clearly and consistently reinforcing key concepts in context. End-of-chapter materials summarise and review the learning goals, and the system even carries over into supplemental materials.
- Strong ties to practise. Many textual discussions present practical insights and applications of concepts and techniques. There is also a cross-disciplinary focus that gives students a better appreciation for the numerous cross-disciplinary interactions that routinely occur in business.
- One additional chapter (Chapters 18) is available for download from www.pearsoned.com.au/9780733984006
Pedagogical features:
- Chapter-Opening Vignettes describe real company experiences and relate to the managerial finance material covered in the chapter.

- New and updated ‘In Practice’ Boxes focus readers on important topics using real-world companies to explore areas of practice (new to this edition) as well as ethics and global issues.
- Margin Notes enrich text discussion and Key Equations highlight the most important mathematical information.

- Chapter Cases apply key concepts to a complex, realistic situation, while integrated End-of-Part Cases challenge students to apply material they’ve learned over the course of several chapters.
