Per­mits instructors to teach best practice-financial managing as it is done in com­panies recognized as business leaders. It supports teaching, as students find the book intuitively clear and easy to read and understand. By integrating interna­tional and ethical issues throughout the book, it builds those subjects naturally into students' analyses and removes the need to treat them as separate topics. It is especially appropriate for nontechnical students, since it min­imizes the use of derivations and formulas, and for students who are employed full- or part-time and who will immediately see the validity of the book's approach and its relevance to their work.
