5.0 out of 5 stars Step-by-step guide from the master, March 9, 2002

This review is from: International Financial Management (Hardcover)

This book set me up very nicely for a career in forex markets. Possibly the gentlest introduction to international finance, the book does not waste any time with implementation of the ideas, instead provides you with the requisite knowledge, and illustrative examples. I had the fortune of being taught the subject by the author (Dr. Eun), and so the book was fully utilized. However, other teachers would also find the book an ideal companion to course notes. In fact, the book is so well written, it seems like a tutorial. You cannot go wrong if you are using it for international finance courses. The book will also help you with preparation for the CFA charter examinations.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent textbook on international finance, November 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: International Financial Management (Hardcover)

This book has three major strengths compared to other textbooks in this field. #1: It is soundly based on FINANCE theories. Most other textbooks on international finance have more of an "international BUSINESS" taste. #2: It is more analytical than most others. #3: It is comprehensive yet very concise. This is a must-read in the field of international finance. It is particularly suitable for senior-level finance undergraduate and MBA students as well as finance professionals with an interest in investments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent MBA-level text, July 13, 2010

By 

Yujun Zhang - See all my reviews

This review is from: International Financial Management (Irwin/McGraw-Hill Series in Finance, Insurance and Real Estate) (Hardcover)

This book is a required text for my International Financial Management class in my MBA study. It has good coverage, clear explanations of sophisticated concepts and models, and good organization of contents, an definitely excellent MBA-level text. It also includes some CFA level II problems at the end of some chapters.

Please note that this book is only suitable for those who are already familiar with Corporate Finance and Economics. Without such preliminary knowledge in mind, one may find it difficult to follow.

I read this book almost page by page during my class, which helped me understand the class's lecture notes. There are not many good texts on International Finance out there, this's a good one, especially good for serious study. And I know it was also used in Wharton School as the textbook for International Corporate Finance.
