Due to ongoing advancements in technology, new legislation, and other innovations, the field of finance is rapidly changing. Developments in financial markets and investments necessitate that students be exposed to these topics as well as to financial management, the traditional focus of the introductory finance course. Introduction to Finance develops the three components of finance in an interactive framework that is consistent with the responsibilities of all financial professionals, managers, intermediaries, and investors in today's economy. To show the interrelationships between the areas of finance, the text emphasizes how investor activities monitor firms and focuses on the role of financial markets in channeling funds from investors to firms.

• Part Two outlines key tools such as the time-value of money that are used by financial managers and investors in analysis and decision making.

• Part Three, the backbone of the text, presents the "traditional" financial management topics in a focused fashion.

• Part Four covers investment topics such as mutual funds, derivative securities, and asset allocation to reinforce portfolio-building concepts and to prepare students for personal investing.

• Part Five provides a synthesis of the text to reinforce the integration between financial management, financial markets, and investments.

• The text is supported by a comprehensive learning system that is driven by a set of learning goals. NewsLine boxes present articles excerpted from the financial news. Tying it All Together summaries outline the respective roles of financial managers, financial markets, and investors. Web exercises capture student interest in researching with the Internet while educating about finance-related sites. A part-ending Continuing Case features Exam-ace.net, an Internet start-up company.

• The extensive supplements program features and Instructor's Manual, Test Bank, Study Guide, PowerPoint Lecture Presentation, Computerized Test Bank, and Companion Web Site with Excel-based student software and online quizzes.
