New in the 6th Edition
In keeping with the contemporary flavor of the earlier editions, we have added many new companies to the book (General Mills, Darden Restaurants, Molson Coors, Google, Borland, State Street, Abbott
Labs, Palfinger, Corning, Johnson & Johnson, and others). Twenty of the cases are completely new or updated. We reviewed all of the continuing cases with an eye to improving their clarity. To that end, we
reorganized the questions in several cases. We have included financial ratios and questions about
management’s incentives and motives in arriving at accounting choices in many cases. Several cases now
include industry-level information. As well, we have included tables to many cases to guide the
quantitative analysis especially when the questions require comparisons across years, to industry
averages, or among firms. We continue to include a significant number of non-U.S. companies, denoted  in the table of contents.
