Excellent book for Graduate Business Students An excellent book for Grduate level MBA and Finance students. Very precise and covers all details in a very simple and effective way. I recommend every single MBA student should keep this book as a reference. | ||
Excellent...simply Different from Others! Buy it now... As a French student and now as an MBA graduate student from an American University, I had the opportunity to read several books from both the US and from Europe. This one is simply excellent! You can find other great books like those written by Myers, Ross and so on. They all give a good overview of corporate finance issues. But something is missing in all these books: a more friendly and a less institutional approach. You can find that in the book written by Balbirer and Shapiro. In my opinion, you can use this book in two ways. Either you are looking for a particular issue. Then you will see how this book is well organized and how the content is strong, concise and interesting. Or you can do like I did. Read this book for pleasure and enjoy how the authors reformulate the same point, the same ideas in three or four different ways in the same paragraph to make sure that you can understand. And that is the main strenght of this book. Whatever topic you pick up in ordinaries (even excellent) Finance books, you might have to read a paragraph two or three times to really get it. In this one, just enjoy how the authors try to take different perspectives to explain things...only one reading is required to understand! I think this book is more appropriate for undergraduate students even if it is a great introductory book for MBA students or people without any financial background. It covers a lot of different topics so you can consider that as a first (strong) or a secondary Corporate Finance book. However, I don't think that it would be appropriate for very advanced Finance major students. The latter could however consider it as their new reference books where they can come to pick up some information they might have forgotten in previous classes. My advice...just by it or you will miss something. | ||
