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.

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

This revision brings new examples, new pedagogical features, and an increased emphasis on the ethical implications of financial decisions add 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.

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.
