NOT a practitioners guide,
By
This review is from: Real Options, Revised Edition: A Practitioner's Guide (Hardcover)
I'm feeling very frustrated with this book, and here's why. The text contains sample questions, and directs to a website for the solutions. The website requires registration in order to access the material. After filling out the necessary details, I received an email from the publisher stating that I did not qualify as I am not a lecturer. I pointed out that the text claims to be a practitioners guide, not a lecturers guide. After numerour emails back and forth I've given up - I'll return it instead.
Most curiously I was never offered to purchase the material, so I can't even feel conned - just pissed-off.

Good Book,
By
This review is from: Real Options, Revised Edition: A Practitioner's Guide (Hardcover)
Is a good book, however, be aware that you need a very good foundation in finance and valuation. Do not pretend to learn ROA with gaps doing a simple NPV excersice. THE BAD its really a shame been a Practitioner's guide not found the end chapter solutions to the problems, even giving you a supposed internet address to obtain it. The address does not exists.

Useful but hard to understand,
This review is from: Real Options, Revised Edition: A Practitioner's Guide (Hardcover)
I use this book as a required book in a course on my graduate study. It is hard to understand and writen like a novel. However, it is very up-to-date. Readers should have a bit strong background on options, finance and investment.
