Book Description

This book, from the former editors of FMA's Journal of Financial Management, is the first to integrate the major developments made in finance in the last twenty years, such as principal-agent considerations, asymmetric information considerations, and contingent claims analysis. The format parallels that of competitors, but the new material is woven into, and enriches, the traditional presentations. This is also the first corporate finance textbook to truly marry practice with theory, by having a full-time practitioner author. The volume provides an overview of corporate financial management and details accounting, cash flows, and taxes, the financial environment, principles, and fundamental concepts, valuation, risk & return, financial securities, options, valuing contingencies and financial contracting, as well as capital budgeting, strategic asset allocation, capital structure and dividend policy, managing the firm and long-term financing. For business professionals.

Best Corporate Finance Text available.......2007-03-22

The third edition of EFS is the best corporate finance textbook/reference available. The text correctly does several things. First, it uses the Principles to tie the topics together. Second, the author's mix of academic and professional experience allows for a book that is both real world and theoretically correct. Third, the book's layout makes it user friendly.

I especially like the integration of agency issues and (real) options throughout the book.

Within the past year, I have taught from Brigham (et al), Ross (et al), Emery (et al) and reviewed Brealey (et al), Block and Hirt, Berk and Demarzo, and Smart (et al). I have Weaver and Weston, but have not reviewed it. Emery Finnerty and Stowe is easily the best textbook and reference. Brigham has dumbed down its text to the point where students do not have enough information to understand a topic. Ross and Brealey continue to write books of mostly theoretical correctness while ignoring usability and consistency. Berk and Demarzo is new, but trends to the Ross style.

The book is appropriate for senior, graduate, and corporate university classes. The book can be used for both core and major courses.

My only complaint as an instructor is the lack of supplemental materials (probably due to its low percent of market share) and relative lack of variation on end of chapter problems. End of chapter questions are excellent.

Great introductory level corporate finance book!.......2000-05-30

I used this book as an undergraduate at UW-Madison and a graduate at UVa. I found the material helpfull and easy to understand. Great for the undergraduate course, however it is not up to par for graduate level analysis.

Book Description

The purpose of this book is to help bankers in their task of establishing, developing, and supervising foreign exchange departments. The essays included provide insightful and explanatory comments of a general nature in an area where no two institutions are likely to have similar needs or opportunities. The scarcity of books on foreign exchange departments is largely due to this diversity. Rudi Weisweiller's edited collection will appeal to the bankers who want to collaborate closely and successfully with personnel in foreign exchange departments and also to those actually engaged in the day-to-day work of those departments. This is partly a book for foreign exchange dealers and partly a book about them. Each contributor to this book is experienced and still active in the field of foreign exchange. Their accumulated experience has led to this knowledgeable volume, which will be useful to present and future practitioners as a general overview of the foreign exchange department in the modern financial institution.

Very useful for everybody who needs to have understanding about finance and accounting in thier day-to-day tasks. Clearly shows how managerial budgets are linked to financial reports. Furthermore it gives a basis to understand and read financial reports and takes out the important information needed for the daily management decisions and follow-ups.
The book takes you step by step and on a comprehensive way through all the necessary knowledge and skills you should have.

Should be entitled Managerial Accounting.......1999-08-19

Great, straightforward approach to explaining what managers do, and should, look for in the numbers periodically generated by their accounting systems.

Innovative management approach to financial analysis........1998-11-15

Despite the title of this book, it does not really cover the traditional "finance" topics such as weighted average/marginal cost of capital, portfolio theory, capital structure decisions, investment banking, mergers and acquisitions, etc. In my opinion, most of the book deals with managerial accounting-----but it does a great job doing so! In fact, this book contains the best treatment of cost volume profit analysis that I've ever seen----and I am a CPA with 10 years experience. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to manage a company "by the numbers".

To reaffirm and not teach.......1998-09-11

I felt that there was not enough spent on the subject itself and more of a dummy's version of getting acquainted with Finance. If you've ever taken one course in Finance, you wiz through the book without absorbing any more than you remembered.

Book Description

Corporate Financial Strategy is a practical guide to understanding the elements of financial strategy, and how directors and advisors can add value by tailoring financial strategy to complement corporate strategy.

The book sets out appropriate financial strategies over the key milestones in a company's life. It discusses the practicalities behind transactions such as:
* Raising venture capital
* Flotation on a stock exchange
* Making acquisitions
* Management buyouts
* Financial restructuring

In explaining financing structures, the book sets out the basic building blocks of any financial instrument to enable the reader to appreciate innovations in the field. It also illustrates how and why different types of security might be used.

The second edition of this very popular textbook brings to bear the considerable commercial and academic experience of its co-authors. Throughout, the book offers a range of up-to-date case studies, abundant diagrams and figures, and frequent 'Working Insight' sections to provide practical illumination of the theory.

This book will enable you to understand the potential value added by the best financial strategy, while fully demonstrating the working role of financial strategy within an overall corporate strategy. An excellent practical guide for senior financial managers, strategic-decision makers and qualified accountants, the text is also invaluable as a clear-sighted and thorough companion for students and senior executives on finance courses (including MBA, MSc and DMS).

* Includes real company case studies and examples linking theory and practice
* Class tested on advanced MBA courses and executive programmes

One of a kind.......2000-11-01

I teach seminars to experienced bankers on risk management and corporate capital raising. This is the first, and only, book I have found which gives a real framework for understanding capital-raising choices made by corporations that is practical, rather than purely academic (which is not how decisions are made by CFOs and Treasurers, for right or for wrong!). Very highly recommended for capital raising. it ranks, in my opinion, with Charles Smithson's "Managing Financial Risk," on the risk management side, as the single best books available. It is by no means out-of-date, but it would be wonderful if it were ever updated to include "new economy" companies that often have negative EPS.

Excellent Introduction to Corporate Financial Strategy.......2000-09-03

As a classical (UK?) MBA book, Ward provides the student and professional alike with an excellent introduction to finance in a strategic context. In Part 1, he starts off with the basics including a review of theories of finance. Part 2 is probably the most interesting one. Ward goes through the four stages of a company and its financial strategy (start-up, growth company, mature company, declining business). Part 3 covers the important role of dynamic growth. Part 4 considers the impact of the opposite types of strategies which are involved in consolidating or refocusing the business. Part 5 offers an interesting and unique look at financial strategy from the perspective of the externally based, professional financial adviser (e.g. Investment Banker or Consultant).

Book Description

An essential guide to financial risk management as well as the only way to ace the GARP FRM Exam
The Financial Risk Management Exam (FRM Exam) was developed by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) as a means of establishing an industry standard of minimum professional competence in the field. It is given annually in November for risk professionals who want to earn FRM certification. Authored by renowned financial risk management guru Phillipe Jorion, with the full support of the GARP, this is the definitive guide for those preparing to take the FRM Exam. With the help of questions (and solutions) taken from previous exams, Jorion coaches readers on quantitative methods, capital markets, and market, credit, operational, and risk management concepts and assessment techniques. In addition to being the indispensable guide for those aspiring to FRM certification, Financial Risk Manager Handbook also serves as a valued working reference for risk professionals.
Phillipe Jorion, PhD (Irvine, CA), is a Professor of Finance at the Graduate School of Management at UC Irvine. He has also taught at Columbia University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of British Columbia.

A True Bible of Risk Management.......2005-04-08

Having worked on several risk management projects on Wall Street for years, I must admit that this is the best and most comprehensive book on the topic. It covers all the main areas of risk management (market, credit, operational) and saves you countless hours of looking for definitions and derivations of key risk management concepts (not everything is on Google, or at least not yet).

Disappointing.......2003-07-31

This book is billed as the "official reference book for GARP's FRM certification program" and "ideal for self instruction and in-house training".

Unfortunately, it falls short on both scores. It is definitely not a book for someone with a basic level of knowledge. Nor does it really seem to be written for the intermediate risk manager/practitioner.

Dr. Jorion undertook a rather ambitious and perhaps thankless task with this book. The subject is quite extensive. There is probably no one person with all the required in-depth knowledge to write the entire book. So there were bound to be areas of weakness. It also appears that he had scant assistance with the book, which placed an enormous burden on him.

As well, the book lacks a consistent pedagogical focus. It is not pitched to the basic student or to the intermediate level practitioner but seems to wander between the two. And therefore is probably not an ideal text for either audience.

If it is intended as a textbook for in-house training or preparation for the FRM exam, then it should be written at a much more basic level with careful ordering of the presentation of the material and fuller explanations rather than the text's at times elliptical and terse ones. For an example of a shortcoming in presentation, in the section on option pricing, the book discusses the Merton derivation (for income generating "underlyings") of the Black Scholes model and then presents a detailed example of the Black Scholes model. It would be more helpful to reverse the order and go from the simpler to the more complex.

Other areas for improvement are the section on statistics, probability, etc. These are at the heart of modern risk management. Sometimes the descriptions seem too terse to convey the material. The tables on the "moments" could be improved by including the denominator to show the exact formula for their calculation.

Notwithstanding the above, there is some very good material in the book - thematic comments on risk management and interactions between various risks and instruments. This "big picture" analysis is good. The discussion of "moments" is well organized though there is a shortcoming in the tables - the denominators are missing and so the student doesn't see the exact formula for each. However, as outlined above, without more detail and more structured presentation, the book's utility for the basic level student is diminished.

One would expect to see more evidence of a strong editor's hand from a book published under Wiley Finance imprint. It is a little acknowledged fact that most authors rely on an editor to catch mistakes and to ensure that the book stays on message. The author's task is even more daunting when preparing such a technical book. And the editor's role then even more critical.

There are some obvious errors in the book. For example, missing information in the sample question 11.4 on page 254. Poor spacing in the answer key to that question on page 260- where the square root of time and the 99% standard deviation factors are conflated. As well, the explanation of the solution could have been expanded to explain exactly what these factors represented and why they were used. This is very important in a basic training book. Also there are several extraneous words between two sentences on the top of page 291. These and others not mentioned here seem to be obvious catches.

Since the subject matter is so extensive and since this is a GARP official publication, GARP should consider enlisting several authors, each of whom could address areas of his/her expertise. Dr. Jorion then could serve as the senior author - providing the logical architecture to link sections together and highlight critical dependencies and linkages. That would improve the book materially.

Download Description

Your Best Approach to Determining Value If you're buying, selling, or valuing a business, how can you determine its true value? By basing it on present market conditions and sales of similar businesses. The market approach is the premier way to determine the value of a business or partnership. With convincing evidence of value for both buyers and sellers, it can end stalemates and get deals closed. Acclaimed for its empirical basis and objectivity, this approach is the model most favored by the IRS and the United States Tax Court-as long as it's properly implemented. Shannon Pratt's The Market Approach to Valuing Businesses, Second Edition provides a wealth of proven guidelines and resources for effective market approach implementation.

As we have come to expect, Pratt is exceptional........2001-06-10

Everyone with even a causal interest in business valuation respects Shannon Pratt. He lives up to his reputation in The Market Approach. My favorite is the contrast and comparison of the different data available for private transactions.

If there is any criticism, it has to be his subtle efforts to market Pratt's Stats. No one would blame him too much for that.
