Product Description: Case Studies in Finance, 4/e links managerial decisions to capital markets and the expectations of investors. At the core of almost all of the cases is a valuation task that requires students to look to financial markets for guidance in resolving the case problem. The focus on value helps managers understand the impact of the firm on the world around it. These cases also invite students to apply modern information technology to the analysis of managerial decisions.
Textbook for Case Studies The textbook arrived on time and it contains multiple finance cases to analyze and discuss in a classroom setting.
for advanced level classes This is a great book. However if you want to get the most out of it 1. You need to already know corporate finance- intermediate to advanced level. 2. This book has only cases. Only if they are discussed in a classroom setting, you would be able to learn something. The extent to which you would learn would depend upon how well the Professor conducts the discussion in the class. I had a great Prof. for this class so I really applied whatever I learn over 3 semesters of finance.
WARNING-These are only cases, almost NO content I bought this book to read outside of a class hoping to read through some really good case studies in finance, and hopefully apply several semesters worth of finance classes to some real world examples. However after receiving the book I realized that these were only cases, not case studies, meant to be discussed in a class. There is almost no content, and college professors would actually be better off building their own cases from current business publications.
Good Finance book The cases in this book will make one think more than other books in this area.
Bravo to Bruner! Case Studies in Finance and its instructors manual are absolutely the BEST of their kind in all the years I've been teaching finance and strategy. Bravo to Bruner! I've never seen an instructor's manual so complete. The At-a-Glance section has been very helpful when structuring a course design. Case Studies in Finance and its supplements are being used by the finance faculty at ESADE Business School, in Spain, as a guide to restructure their first year core finance course in the Full-Time MBA programme.
