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.

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.

This book gives great real life situations that use the instruments that are learned in Corporal Finance. Though, to really get a lot out of this book I would suggest a Corporal Finance book to better help answer some of the questions. Overall it is a great book to teach Finance Majors about real life situations.

It is not a good book for self-learning, it just contains cases and no answers. My instructor ask me to buy that for class, but it is worthless outside the class.

This book provided a wide array of various financial situations, including valuation, arbitrage, capital budgeting and M&A. However, it had plenty of flaws and could have used more detail and data for support.

I'm an MBA student, this was our textbook for a Corporate Finance Case Study class. I highly recommend it for those who are already familiar with Corporate Finance. It's a good review for corporate finance
1) Good Coverage
It's organized by topics; each topic has several cases, covering almost all corporate finance areas.
2) With introduction and interpretation of key concepts
Though this is a case-only book and should be used with another corporate finance textbook, many key concepts are also contained in cases' text, interpreted even more scenario-driven, which made me understand better the concepts studied in my corporate finance class.
3) With companion CD and website including excel data and templates, which made the book suitable for my hands-on practice
4) Cases are complicated enough to make you think deeply, generating good discussion as well.

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.

Received my product fast and in the condition promised. Would order from this seller again

The cases in this book will make one think more than other books in this area.

The book was excelleant, but I never knew if the answers I provided were correct, is there no model answers on the case studies that one could check one's answers against. I am a final year MBA student in South Africa with no real previous Finance experience and this book really assisted me in gaining a practical understanding. Please let me know about model answers
