5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to basic financial management., September 12, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Irwin Series in Finance) (Paperback)

This book is required at Harvard Business School and is used at top B-schools and bank management trainee programs around the country.

I used the book during my MBA program, even though it was
not required. My study group members always requested
that I bring it to group meetings. I even had a classmate
approach the author (who happens to be my father) at my
graduation and ask for his autograph.

The book introduces complex finance concepts like net present
value in non-academese language and the real-world examples
reinforce the concepts.

I strongly recommend this textbook to anyone preparing to
enter business school or embarking on a job in financial
analysis.

Professor Higgins is a beloved teacher at his home institution,
the University of Washington. You can share in a little of
his vast expertise and gift for teaching by reading his
book, Analysis for Financial Management.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent way to learn/master financial management., June 30, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Irwin Series in Finance) (Paperback)

This is one of the few finance texts I have read that can provide a solid financial introduction to the novice student and can also fine-tune the skills of the accomplished financial professional.

Professor Higgins accomplishes this feat by presenting a wealth of financial knowledge through remarkably clear and concise explanations of financial theory and application.

I have three books leaning against my computer at work: A dictionary, a thesaurus, and Professor Higgins' "Analysis for Financial Management."
