The book tells a story, which essentially summarizes the corporate finance view of the world. It classifies all decisions made by any business into three groups—decisions on where to invest the resources or funds that the business has raised, either internally or externally (the investment decision), decisions on where and how to raise funds to finance these investments (the financing decision) and decisions on how much and in what form to return funds back to the owners (dividend decision).

- Text treats students as future practitioners, encourages active learning through live cases and concept questions. These reinforce the author's belief that there is no substitute for actually trying things out to bring home both the strengths and weaknesses of corporate finance.
- Real Data, Real Time. This text uses links to the internet to help students gather company information; data sets are available on the web to use for supporting exercises; spreadsheets are available for further analysis of firms referenced in the book.
- Emphasizes the principles of corporate finance and their universality across markets, different types of firms and different types of decisions. This is accomplished by using examples from big firms, U.S. firms, foreign firms, private firms and public firms.
