The worst text book of the year This book gives plenty of infomatoin by presenting not interesting monotonous explanations. The layout is far from reader-friendly. It needs to improve its layout like increasing spaces of the lines, and so forth. This book might discourages students, who want to study this subject. Be super patient and tolerant, if you read the book. | ||
Lots of information, horrible presentation I am in my last year of school and preparing to embark on a career in banking. Out of all the finance and economics (I'm a double major) textbooks I have used this is the absolute worst bar none. While the text has a very large amount of information that same information is simply thrown at you with no real presentation. One other thing that bothers me (possible the most) is the fact that I get severe headaches when I read this text. I have never read a book before with text this small. To me this says something since I am a voracious reader and frequently am reading 3-4 novels while also studying for my classes. | ||
TEDIOUS, REPETITIVE, BUY NYQUILL INSTEAD!! This is likely the worst textbook I have come accross in my finance career. The writing is extremely dry and the authors do not make an effort to summarize anything. They love narrating long concepts and mixing it with dull examples that make you completely lost. The concepts in each chapter are repeated twice for absolutely no reason. This sucker will make you fall asleep as fast as NyQuill - without the good relaxing feeling. | ||
Got exactly what I wanted! Great Service, prompt shipment, the book was in excellent condition! | ||
This book motivated my carreer as a banker Professor Koch's book is excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in banking. The book is great to read if you don't know much about the industry or if you are an expert. I studied with Professor Koch at USC at the undergrad level and decided to go into banking thanks to his class and book. The book covers liquidity management, credit management, capital management, asset and liability management (focus on interest rate risk management), balance sheet analysis and other interestig topics. I've worked in several areas of commercial banks in Ecuador, namely credit, treasury, asset and liability management and finance. The book has always come in handy. I've also used it to teach at the University level down here. It is especially interesting how every chapter is related in some way to the ALCO (Asset and Liability Management Commitee). The cases are also very interesting. In Ecuador we recently had a liquidity crunch in the banking system. I was very much surprised to find an anylisis of a case very similar to what was happening down here in the book. The case was on the Contintental Illinois bank failure. In other words, I think this book is a must for anyone interested in the industry. | ||
