Overview
Madura/Zipfel’s INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, 15th Edition, builds on fundamental principles of international corporate finance. The reader-friendly presentation, clear explanations and lived-in corporate perspective, focuses on the importance of finance managers within a multinational corporation. New content explores the impact of FinTech on global finance, hands-on skills and techniques to mitigate financial risks, step-by-step Excel financial models and international changes impacting MNCs and students going into the workforce. Students learn real-world scenarios they can follow along with updated Blades case at the end of each chapter. Step-by-step problems in Excel are a key change to this edition. Examples, self-tests and hands-on exercises work with MindTap online algorithmic practice problems to help students develop the skills and understanding for international finance.
- 15 real-world Excel problems are now included, pairing with specific chapters. These are not just algorithmic “fill in the input” calculator problems, but rather ones that require the student (and show the instructor) to think through all the necessary steps to build a working spreadsheet model that solves real problems from start to finish. This gives students tangible skills for their career, improving accuracy and efficiency in how they solve problems.
- In key chapters where capital budgeting is demonstrated, a detailed working Excel model is now included in the text (and for instructors) that links across all 3 related chapters (chapters 14–16) with the same company and spreadsheet model.
- Key revisions/updates to this edition include a new chapter on Fintech in global financial markets, full updates on SOFR replacing LIBOR and more emphasis on Small Business Dilemmas as a thought-starter tool for instructors to kick off each class discussion. Updated links in each chapter to websites/databases now provide more real-world applications with the material, and multiple Fortune 500 company quotes from Annual Reports or earnings calls have been added where relevant.
- CURRENT, PRACTICAL EXAMPLES REFLECT THE LATEST IN FINANCIAL PRACTICE WORLDWIDE. This best-selling resource is recognized for its use of practical examples in every chapter. Meaningful examples, drawn from today's real international organizations, demonstrate the latest financial practices that multinational corporations rely upon every day. These examples further clarify concepts within each chapter and demonstrate the importance of what students are learning.
- HANDS-ON EXPERIENTIAL EXERCISES PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACTUAL PRACTICE. Engaging exercises place students in key international positions. The Blades Case follows along the same company in each chapter, giving students opportunities to apply their learning (along with all the needed features in the instructor manual to support this case).
- SELF-TESTING QUESTIONS AND TOOLS HELP READERS CHECK AND REINFORCE COMPREHENSION. Your students can check their understanding of important concepts and skills using the large variety of self-test questions at the end of each chapter. In addition, students can use self-testing midterm and final exams to ensure they understand concepts for the best possible success in your course.
- VARIETY OF CHAPTER APPLICATIONS PROVIDE VALUABLE HANDS-ON PRACTICE. Robust applications throughout this edition offer an extensive selection of practice opportunities. Point/Counter-Point exercises challenge students to evaluate alternative points of view, while Critical-Thinking Questions prompt short essays. In addition, Small Business Dilemmas offers a great way to kick off class discussion and Current Event exercises at the end of each chapter allow students to conduct research relevant to what they just learned.
- INTEGRATIVE PROBLEMS DEMONSTRATE HOW FINANCIAL CONCEPTS FROM EACH CHAPTER WORK TOGETHER. An integrative problem at the end of each part clearly illustrates how concepts from each of the chapters in every part are integrated and rely upon or impact one another. In addition, parts of the text have a working Excel spreadsheet model that connects the concepts and improves student efficiency and effectiveness in solving real-world problems.
