Pound for pound this is the most expensive *new* book I have ever bought, but it's definitely worth most of the purchase price if not all!

A book that every prospective MBA should have, as it is very clear and gives a lot of resource listings and examples. Recommended for anyone that need to deal with financial issues.

What makes it even better, is that it lives up to its back cover: it turns Finance into Management, or at least tries very hard to show what a CFOs life is really about, in practical examples.

Very strongly recommended for people that need to understand what being a CFO is about (all prospective MBAs) or people that need to understand what choices sometimes have to be made in finance.

I used the fifth edition of this wonderful book for the MBA Program at the Darden School at the University of Virginia and found it to be a great introduction to the field of finance. I also used the fifth edition to supplement my study materials for the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Program and found it to be of great value.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best introductory books related to finance on the market today.

The author is confused about why accountants do what they do with their "numbers" so he tries his best to relate it in terms of logic. Good intro and overview for my MBA class.

I am baffled, the ISBN on the book that I received is different for the book that I sought out. The cover and edition are the same. The book is brand new. I just hope that when the professor says "Please turn to page 56..." that my page 56 looks the same as his page 56...
