I was forced to buy this book for my MBA studies, and worse than paying the ridiculous price asked for it, I had to endure reading it too. This book is very poorly written, sentences are strangely structured, with multiple repetitions and redundancies making for a very annoying reading. Besides that, the authors seem to hold 'managers' in very low esteem as far as their trustworthiness and their intellectual abilities which is further irritating. To top it all off, they also provide some strange management advice, such as "Authorisation for both the purchase and the issue of stocks [British for inventory] should be confined to a few senior staff. This should avoid problems of duplication and lack of co-ordination" what? the news of a purchasing department, processes and procedures, automated systems, information technology or ERP has not reached you just yet?

So, fellow readers, if you can avoid buying this book, you should.

I find the book very useful for beginners in accounting like me. I've had experience running my own business and it's not easy to account for costs. This book helped me a lot with regards to that. I'm also using the book as a mandatory textbook for my Financial Management course at Robert Kennedy College.

Well, I truely agree with the former comment.
I was foreced to use it too. I have nerver seen such a bad book: Unlocially, redudancy, worde teachign style, confusing..etc.
It reflects the professionality of teachers recommending it.
There exist a few better books I bought but they have never been recommended by the program conducters..strange.

Please just response to my message and answer me back

I didn't receive my text book from your Amazon until now I ordered my above text book for more than two months now
so please I don't like it right now .... because I already failed in my med-term Exam for my MBA I financial management and the reason is your book did not send to me until now....

and if is your policy is like that to ignore the customer so no need to make any other order from your Amazon any more.

thanks and my regards
