Introduction to Finance: Markets, Investments, and Financial Management, 14th Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Dec 2010, Pages: 624
Introduction to Finance continues to offer a balanced, survey approach to the principles of finance. Distinguished authors Melicher and Norton cover the three major financial areas: institutions and markets, investments, and financial management. Their effective structure equips instructors with maximum flexibility for how the course is taught, and students with an integrated perspective of the different foundations of finance. This survey of the basic knowledge, concepts, and terms of the discipline is appropriate for all students. For those who do not plan to take additional courses in finance, it provides a valuable overview. For those who want to take additional coursework in finance, it provides a solid foundation for their future studies and careers.
