"Real Companies, Real Data." Three companies, Boeing, The Home Depot, and Infosoft, are used as examples throughout the text. By following the same three companies throughout, students gain the necessary background to understand the financial principles as they are presented.
"Real Companies, Real Time." These end-of-chapter exercises present students with a guiding set of activities and questions for them to apply to a company of their choosing. This "live case study" approach allows students to study a company of interest to them while applying chapter concepts to a real company.
With an emphasis on framework, Damodaran uses a "big picture" approach to insure that students do not get intimidated by the detail of the formulas and theoretical models. Part-opening road maps also help guide the students.
A robust web site with support for students and instructors including links and support for the "Real Companies, Real Time" exercises, extra practice problems and solutions, andupdated analysis on the companies analyzed in the text.
