Essentials of Corporate Finance

by Stephen A. Ross, Randolph W. Westerfield, Bradford D. Jordan

This text has enjoyed incredible success in the last two editions. The introductory corporate finance market has embraced the "essentialized" product. The message for this edition of Essentials continues from the second edition - this is THE text for both finance and non-finance majors. The authors continue to maintain a corporate finance framework but have enhanced general business topics wherever appropriate.

Genres: Textbooks, Business, Finance, Nonfiction, School, Reference

I learned about corporate finance during my ECON 1745 class.

[Bernadette · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent read. Everything is well explained and the formulas are highlighted in helpful hint boxes.

[Kristy Buzbee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mostly pomp and jargon, with little real effort to communicate to someone in need of "essentials."

[Bryce · Rating 1 out of 5]

The formulas were abbreviated, which is fine, assuming they explain what has been abbreviated. Difficult to understand at times.

I only read this for my Managerial Finance class. We will just say that I'm not a fan of finance and happy to be done with the class. :)
