Emphasis on We believe that any subject is better learned if one first is well grounded in the basics.
the Basics Consequently, we initially devote several chapters to the fundamental concepts of
international finance. After these are learned, the remaining material flows easily from
them. We always bring the reader back, as the more advanced topics are developed, to
their relationship to the fundamentals. By doing this, we believe students will be left
with a framework for analysis that will serve them well when they need to apply this
material in their careers in the years ahead.

A Managerial Perspective
The text presentation never loses sight of the fact that it is teaching students how to
make managerial decisions. International Financial Management, Sixth Edition, is
founded in the belief that the fundamental job of the financial manager is to maximize
shareholder wealth. This belief permeates the decision-making process we present
from cover to cover. To reinforce the managerial perspective, we provide numerous
“real-world” stories whenever appropriate.

Key Words—One of the most interesting
aspects of studying international finance
is learning new terminology. All key terms
are presented in boldfaced type when they
are first introduced, and they are defined
thoroughly in the chapter. A list of key
words is presented at the end of the chapter
with convenient page references.

Case Applications—Case
Applications are incorporated
within selected chapters
throughout the text in order to
enhance specific topics and help
students apply theories and
concepts to “real-world” situations.

Ancillary Materials
To assist in course preparation, the following ancillaries are offered on the Online
Learning Center—www.mhhe.com/er6e:
• Solutions Manual—Includes detailed suggested answers and solutions to the
end-of-chapter questions and problems, written by the authors.
• Lecture Outlines—Chapter outlines, learning objectives, and teaching notes
for each chapter.
• Test Bank—True/false and multiple-choice test questions for each chapter
prepared by John Stansfield, University of Missouri. Available as Word
documents and in computerized EZ Test format.
• PowerPoint Presentations—PowerPoint slides for each chapter to use in
classroom lecture settings, created by John Stansfield.
The site also includes the International Finance Software that can be used with this
book. This Excel software has four main programs:
• A currency options pricing program allows students to price put and call
options on foreign exchange.
• A hedging program allows the student to compare forward, money market
instruments, futures, and options for hedging exchange risk.
• A currency swap program allows students to calculate the cash flows and
notional values associated with swapping fixed-rate debt from one currency
into another.
• A portfolio optimization program based on the Markowitz model allows for
examining the benefits of international portfolio diversification.
The four programs can be used to solve certain end-of-chapter problems (marked with
an Excel icon) or assignments the instructor devises. A User’s Manual and sample
projects are included on the website.
