Known for its time-honored, fully integrated learning system, the Eleventh Edition stays on the cutting edge with progressive new tools and fresh, thought-provoking content. Gitman’s proven learning goal method provides students with a road map through the content. The overarching organization of the text is designed to conceptually link a firm's actions to its value as determined in the securities markets. Each major decision area is presented in terms of both risk and return factors and the potential impact on the owner's wealth.

Every new textbook comes with MyFinanceLab (formerly known as FinanceWorks), Addison-Wesley's online homework, testing, and tutorial system. MyFinanceLab saves instructors time with automatically graded homework, and gives students the benefit of individualized study plans, unlimited practice, and immediate feedback.

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 summarize and review the learning goals, and the system even carries over into supplemental materials.

This revision brings new examples, new pedagogical features, and an increased emphasis on the ethical implications of financial decisions, adding currency and depth to the text’s effective, consistent framework for learning. The new focus on ethics explores such provocative topics as trusting bond raters and ethical accounting practices.

Focus on Value, at the end of each chapter, reinforces the link between the financial manager's actions and share value.

Across the Disciplines opens every chapter with a discussion of the intersection of the finance topics covered in the chapter with the concerns of other major business disciplines.

A diverse set of pedagogical aids, using real-world examples and exercises, foster students' comprehension of both theory and practice.
    - New and Updated ‘In Practice’ boxes focus readers on important topics using real-world companies to explore areas of Practice, new to this edition, and Ethics and Global Issues.
    - Chapter-opening vignettes describe real company experiences and relate to the managerial finance material covered in the chapter.
    - Spreadsheet Exercises at the end of every chapter and Spreadsheet Solutions in selected chapters demonstrate how many finance problems can be solved using Excel.
    - Marginal Notes enrich text discussion and Key Equations highlight the most important mathematical information.
    - End-of-Chapter Summaries, Warm-Up Exercises, and Problems are tied to Learning Goals.
    - New Warm-Up Exercises, Ethical Problems, Spreadsheet Exercises, and Group Exercises strengthen the pedagogical framework.
    - The totally revised Web Exercises offer students opportunities to find data and financial information from a variety of online sources.
    - Chapter Cases apply key concepts to a complex, realistic situation, while End-of-Part Cases challenge students to apply material they’ve learned over the course of several chapters.

The text now comes with FinanceWorks, Addison-Wesley's online homework, testing, and tutorial system. FinanceWorks saves instructors time with automatically graded homework, and gives students the benefit of individualized study plans, unlimited practice, and immediate feedback.

An increased attention to ethical issues, including Ethics in Practice boxes, with Critical Thinking Questions and Ethics Problems, in every chapter and enhanced coverage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

New Warm-Up Exercises prepare students to tackle more complex exercise sets.
