5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Levin is the guru of simplifying business concepts, August 2, 2002

I have read this book, plus I had Dr. Levin as a professor in the Kenan-Flagler School of Business at UNC-Chapel Hill. He was a great teacher and his book's style and way of conveying business concepts was equally satisfying. This is not a book for the scholar, rather it is a very good book for those that want a quick, but substantive way to grasp the basics of everyday business. The title also belies Dr. Levin's laid back and easy-going style and sense of humor. He teaches and writes using sometimes folksy, but always perceptive stories and examples of the concepts and points he is trying to convey. If you want to get the basics of how a business operates, how cash flow works and why it is important, why "buying low and selling high" are not only simple concepts but critical guidelines for any business, of any size or scale or complexity . . . then Dr. Levin's book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best little Finance Book I have read, January 30, 2007

By 

Kim Bottles "cyclist/sailor" (Bainbridge Island, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Buy Low, Sell High, Collect Early and Pay Late: The Manager's Guide to Financial Survival (Hardcover)

I have been involved in finance in the construction industry for over 25 years. Of all of the books I have read on the subject Dr Levin's book is the most straight forward and in many ways the most valuable. He presents the world of finance in a simple common sense sort of way which is down to earth and easy to absorb. "Cash is King" and "Follow the Cash" stick with the basics and avoid the over complications that humans seem to love to add to everything in life. Read his book and you will find the time it takes to be very rewarding. Cheers!
