 Love The Book's Content (Easy to Understand) Jan 29, 2008
By D. Jenkins
"Truth Tellin'"
I had to purchase this book for my MBA Fin Mgmt I class last semester. I actually purchased it from the bookstore. I didn't have a finance background. I really liked the way the authors made the subject easy to understand and comprehend. It gives you plenty of examples. The answers and calculations are given for the self-test questions. This class was taken all online. When I initially had taken this class on campus, I had to drop it because I wasn't understanding the concepts. After taking an Accounting course, I felt I was better preprared for this course a second time around. This book is written for the novice and advanced student.

 About as helpful as you could hope for Jun 18, 2008
By Nicolas D.
There are a lot of things I liked about this book. For starters, it is written pretty coherently, and generally does not get too wordy. With the topic it is covering this is a feat in and of itself. The color schemes they use throughout the book to separate different examples, figures, etc further makes the book accessible.
The problems for each chapter are separated into categories for easy, intermediate, and difficult and are labeled by topic as well. This is very useful for studying if you want to brush up on a specific topic or difficulty. The back of the book provides answers to all quantitative questions, although it doesn't show you how to work out any of them.
What I didn't really like was that it was sometime difficult to find out how to work certain problems at the end of each chapter. Fairly often you will find the method to solve a problem embedded/hidden within a paragraph rather than highlighted separately. This generally does not apply to the main equations, but it can still make doing homework tedious with all the searching. Also, with the exception of the simpler chapters (Time Value of Money, and Exchange Rates) where there are numerous examples, most other chapters use one example that is either stretched out across the chapter if the problem is in depth or there will simply be one basic example. This can make it difficult to figure out how to solve any types of variations of the problem you may be required to do.
All in all, a very solid book that makes this difficult course very manageable (assuming you have a decent professor).

 only instructors have access to the errata sheets????? Aug 20, 2009
By Christopher A. Woolley
This is a very well written book, very good and thorough explanation of material. I would have given it 5 stars, except for one major issue:
There are several typos in problems, where a minus sign was replaced with a 2. So, 215% should actually read -15% in some places. Also, there is at least one formula where a set of parenthesis are missing in the chapter, but do show up in the appendix formulas. This is not the BIG issue.
The issue is that the publisher feels that only professors should have access to the errata sheet. If you go to the southwestern cengage website, the errata sheet is locked as an instructor resource. That, in my opinion, is ridiculous!

Well-written and comprehensive Dec 23, 2009
By Alex P.
"Alex P."
This was our primary textbook for a recent MBA class in Managerial Finance. It was a pleasure to use because of the clear and logical organization of material. The author(s) are obviously experts in the field. When experts write textbooks I notice that one of their problems is distinguishing the dosage for topics that need to be parceled out. A poorly edited textbook may contain too many topics and/or too much detail. The danger, in short, is information overload. A poorly edited book will tend to jumble this information so that the student will be hard-pressed to identify the 20% that is essential versus the 80% that is not.
This was not the case here. Corporate finance abounds with numerous concepts so a subject matter expert will face that problem mentioned above. To the editorial team's credit, this did not happen.
It's a keeper. It will have a place in my library as a useful reference book.

Classic book and a must read book Jan 23, 2009
By Ashutosh Gubbi
"ashu"
This is one of the recommended textbook for the Financial Management course at GWU. The book is very well written, structured and a must read textbook to understand finance. I will be keeping this book for the future reference. The professor who was assigned to this course didn't do a good job but going through this textbook was more then sufficient to understand the financial concepts. The book had a lot of examples and exercises to understand the concepts like Present Value, Cash Flow and Cost of financing was very well explained.
