1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy USED!!, June 21, 2002

Do NOT attempt to buy this book used. It can only be used once, due to a login code that comes with the book. As much as this book and the game it describes are worthless, if you are required to have this book, just pay your fee and try as hard as you can to convince your professor that this game is a waste of time. There are much better ways to learn how to run a company and to find the maximum point of a profit curve.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time, August 22, 2000

Roy - See all my reviews

This review is from: FinGame Online 3.0, Participants Manual (Paperback)

This book, and software, was written by a professor at the University of South Carolina. He first introduced it in the 1980's. He has been cashing in on it ever since by attempting to update it every few years. He requires all of his students to buy it, and use it. It is poorly written, in need of clearer explanations, and in my opinion is nothing more than a rehashed introductory accounting textbook. What a ripoff! If you want to learn corporate finance don't buy this book. I'm watching you Leroy.
