We want to understand the meaning of the Napier Number e and try to make clear the meaning in the business field for example. For business administration students, we propose a financial example. The statement "lim__<n→∞>(1+1/n)^n = e" is illustrated. And some episodes of the Napier Number e - area problem, differential of exponential function, definition of e, Eider's formula and so on - are mentioned.
