I liked how the authors clearly indicated the importance and connection of the topic of each chapter within the flow of monies within the company. The spreadsheets used to illustrate the concepts were very good. In the spreadsheet problems at the end of most chapters were very helpful. Additionally, it was the first text in my MBA program to do a great job of providing instructions on how to use a financial calculator to solve various time value of money and calculate cash flow calculations.

Suspect this to be written for, and aimed at financial practitioners, rather than students with different backgrounds. Exhaustively thorough. Could use an editor. Or a primer for the lay-person, who is more likely to hear about corporate finance in the context of economy-destroying market bubbles or industry notables like Enron & AIG.

Caveat for technologists - you know that glazed look you see in people when you try to explain what we do, when you don't explain in a way that breaks down the jargon, or relates our discipline to people who don't do what we do for a living? Yeah; you're going to find out what that's like. Be ready to re-read chapters.

Caveat for MBA students relying on Excel - you will find rounding errors in the book in solutions to chapter problems, and they will annoy you greatly if you're learning this discipline for the first time. Brigham and Erhardt offer $10 bounty per number error found in the book - but only for non-rounding numerical errors. Make of that what you will.

Imagine that an e-book edition, heavily cross-referenced, would be useful.

Rating this 3/5. Informs and instructs, but difficult to parse for non-practitioners, and does not replicate answers calculated against common tools.

Didn't really love this book, mostly because it wasn't relevant due to the professor's teaching style and content. There wasn't a lot of crossover. Annoying to me was the amount of errors in the answer key! Do they even check their answers?

I read parts of this for my MBA and I’m reading it again to understand the ins and outs of finance in the corporate world. It’s probably the gold standard for understanding finance and it’s been updated through the years regularly.

This was my introductory book to the Financial Markets, and I think that it is a great guide for anyone looking to learn the basic.

It was a very long book, somewhat interesting. Appreciate the excel files that come with the course. Those were the most helpful thing about it.

Excellent text book to understand financial management

[Ali Saeed]

This book is not opening, there is no link, Goodread is making fun of people in need?

[Jeff Maughan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was brutal, but it was good. I have never studied so much. I learned so much about finance and there is reward in that.

[Chris Strangeman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a textbook. The kind of dry textbook that serves its purpose but also serves as an example for why most people don't think about textbooks as being enjoyable.

[Vennittah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book was great in several areas and complemented the professor. It helps lay the foundation and then in advance corporate finance chapters it has relevant examples that are easy to follow and build on foundation ideas
