One of the most adopted texts on Financial Management by America's top business schools. |
|
- MSL Picks -
A book that every prospective MBA should have, as it is very clear and gives a lot of resource listings and examples. Recommended for anyone that need to deal with financial issues.
What makes it even better, is that it lives up to its back cover: it turns Finance into Management, or at least tries very hard to show what a CFOs life is really about, in practical examples.
Very strongly recommended for people that need to understand what being a CFO is about (all prospective MBAs) or people that need to understand what choices sometimes have to be made in finance.
(From quoting Roland Buresund, Sweden)
Target readers:
Controllers, financial analysts, non-financial executives, finance majors, MBAs, and university lecturers.

Analysis for Financial Management is an excellent text that covers the major topics of financial management: how to evaluate and interpret financial statements, the tools a manager should use to forecast future earnings and manage growth, how to properly valuate businesses and investment opportunities, and so forth. This book is ideal if you are familiar with basic accounting and finance concepts but want a deeper understanding of finance in a corporate setting. Each chapter contains a recommended reading list for those who want a more thorough explanation and analysis of the topics covered. There is a website the author has put together that provides more examples and tools. Unlike other textbooks, this book actually has all the answers for exercises at the end of the chapters! Lastly, Higgins provides a number of examples and explains all the major concepts with a touch of humor. This is definitely one of the best books I've seen out there. |

This book was required in my William & Mary MBA program. It covers everything from discounted cash flows to ratio analysis to business valuation. My brother liked it so much he "stole" if for months. I took it back and now he wants it for his Christmas gift. So, here I am buying it for him. The net present value of this book is - real high:) I highly recommend it for business owners or anyone involved in finance and accounting. |

I'm currently in Prof. Higgins' 2nd year MBA Finance class at the University of Washington. Other reviewers at this site point out several of the functional benefits of this book and those reviews are right on. I will add that Prof. Higgins' book does something most other finance texts fail to do: it lends a strong sense of context. It has helped me (as someone with a marketing background) develop a strong and useful intuition for finance theory. I expect it also helps finance experts get a firmer handle on the strategic and managerial context in which they operate. Worth every penny. |

Although at first I didn't really need this book, my friend recommended it to me. From the first reading, it surprised me, how good and interesting the book is! Glad I read this book.
The book explains many concepts in corporate finance, from the usual stuffs like DCF, cost of capital, risk, to much more difficult issues like business restructuring, in a very interesting, practical and readable way. Coupled with real world examples like the Time-Warner case, this book is clearly a must for those who want to built a strong foundation in finance.
