EMPHASIS ON INTUITION. Ross separates and explains the principles at work on an intuitive level before launching into any specifics.

UNIFIED VALUATION APPROACH. Net present value (NPV) is treated as the basic concept underlying corporate finance. Every subject covered in Fundamentals of Corporate Finance is firmly rooted in valuation, and care is taken throughout the text to explain how particular decisions have valuation effects.

MANAGERIAL FOCUS. Throughout the text, the role of the financial manager as decision maker is emphasized, and the need for managerial input and judgment is stressed.
