Financial management principle

With its exciting introduction of the Harley-Davidson focus company theme, this text continues to provide a solid, enduring foundation of the tools of modern theory while at the same time developing the logic behind their use. The “10 Principles of Finance” (formerly “Axioms” ) provide the framework, or “the big picture” of finance, which ties the major concepts of the book together. This text constitutes a strong basis on which to build future studies and, for those students who are non-finance majors, a lasting understanding in the fundamentals of finance.
