The nearly one thousand pages of this book abound with fine and contemporary information regarding corporate finance. Its chapters are not just well-arranged, but are also well-written. As a result of this, the financial gists they dish-out are very easy to grasp. I use this book as a dependable reference text (in conjunction with the Encyclopedia of Finance by Alice C. Lee and Cheng Few Lee). And, I must mention that I am quite satisfied with both books.
This Corporate Finance text did a good job in ramifying every aspect of finance. The coverage of its well-drafted chapters are elaborate, and include: financial management, portfolio management, auditing, research, investment analysis, security analysis, real estate finance, market finance, insurance, and many more. The book also gave detailed explanations on issues relating to capital asset pricing, option pricing model, and efficient market hypothesis.
This book is thorough; and uses several illustrative examples to teach its reader. All of its messages are straight to the point: no beating about the bush! Its in-depth analyses are superb. And, I am glad to recommend it to all corporate managers and executives, who associate themselves with any sort of financial dealings: whether it is about writing reports, making decisions, or supervising corporate projects.
This book comes with one learner's CD-ROM. It also comes with valuable Standard & Poor's card; as well as beneficial online web-links. It is certainly worth every cent that I spent on it.

As a lecturer in corporate finance, I should advice to everyone to consider this book. In some 1000 pages, it summarizes all different aspects of finance. It is well done as each chapter has its own set of problems.
Ross et al. also explore some issues actually raising in the academic filed (dividend, mergers...). Definitely a good choice. |

I am a Chemical Engineer planning for MBA (Finance). I bought this book to have a head start. The book started with the fundamentals (like financial statement analysis) then ended at short-term and long-term Finance.
The book is full of examples and case studies impeded in each chapter. At chapter end you can take the interactive quiz's (provided in CD) to test your new knowledge. This book worth the money you invest in. |

My first impression was that the book is way too simple and does not really match a graduate level. However, when I started studying I found this simplicity wonderful. It only takes me like 20 to 40 minutes to get through a chapter and afterwards I basically can solve all the problems at the chapter end. This is somewhat good. For deeper knowledge I simply read another book, but usually this is not necessary since both of my professors that used this book in class did not require anything more... Congratulations on this book. It is really relaxing to finally have found someone being able to describe the financial matters in simple, understandable terms. Ideal for studying purposes.
I still find that there could be more real world examples and that the authors could have entered the subjects a lot deeper in order to create a real interesting finance book, but however, I totally learned to enjoy the simplicity of this book. |
