Very Good, But Not Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Foundations of Financial Management (Hardcover)
As an undergrad taking his first finance class, I have have found this book to be quite useful. The concepts are explained in simplified, less-complicated ways and make reading each chapter less frustrating than perhaps some others (compared to some of the econ texts that I have had to use!). It is well-written, concise, and employs some very straightforward, easy-to-follow graphs/diagrams. Also, both the formulas and the exercises at the end of each chapter are quite useful. The only reason that I did not give it a 5-star rating is because some of the chapters did not use enough "real-world examples" or hypothetical situations in some of the more challenging lessons. This might better aid those students who are new to finance or simply need another angle to better grasp the idea.

A comprehensive, well-written finance textbook,
By Khaled Ahmadain (Egypt, Cairo..MBA (NYIT), CHRM (Columbia Southern)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foundations of Financial Management (Hardcover)
This text is characterized by its extreme simplicty in explanation and presentation of its material. The flow of presenting the contents of each chapter is so sequentially logical that it makes the reader grasp the financial concepts very fast and effectively. Colorful illustrative diagrams are employed extensively to facilitate a high level of understanding and help the learner develop the necessary conceptual links between inter-related topics and items. In addition, it is very comprehensive and intensely supported with a "luggage" of real-life cases .I recommend this excellent text to everyone who needs to take an introductory course in corporate finance.

A Good Start In Finance,
This review is from: Foundations of Financial Management (The Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) (Textbook Binding)
I teach corporate finance, investment finance and Islamic finance related courses in business schools at MBA level in Karachi Pakistan. Having read and taught from several books on corporate finance, this title by far seems the best. I haven't yet seen the ninth edition, but it must be following the same track as prior editions. The chaptering as well as each chapter's headings are sequential and the method of explaining each heading is impressive. End of the chapter review of formulas is the best part, and finally the end of the chapter "discussion questions" and "problems" enable the students to grasp the concepts presented in the chapters in a nice manner indeed. I have recommended this book in several business schools in Pakistan.
