Just Timely I bought this book on Thursday and it was on my door step that Friday. Great Delivery Service!! The book was in great condition; I saved a lot of money.
Excelente conditions I received the book in excelents conditions and on time. For sure I will ask for another book in the future...
Not a paperback copy I was very disappointed with what I purchased. It is not a paperback of the textbook "Essentials of Managerial Finance". It is simply copies of all the powerpoint slides with some lines next to them. Most classes provide that for free anyways. It's not even a workbook with examples and text. I am not sure what it is for; i guess note taking. Unfortunatly, for that I have notebook paper.
Maximizing shareholder value I used this book for a 500-level MBA finance class, and I have to admit I liked it. The first 3/4's of the book drive home the financial manager's objective: Maximizing shareholder value. It does this consistently, and actually got me (A Sales Manager) to understand why profit needs to take a back seat to value.
Like all introductory texts, it skimps a little on complexity. However, I truly have an appreciation now for finance. Many decisions my company makes now make sense. Though I have little need to apply financial concepts in my current job, I can give better `business reason' explanations to my reports when they ask. Which is why I began pursuing an MBA in the first place.
Enough to avoid Finance mistakes This new edition of the classical title looks very informative and meaningful. Perhaps a little bit more strong in the mathematical treatment will provide the customers with a text more atractive. Anyhow, it is still a good text for beginners.
