Assigned textbook for introduction level financial management subject as part of an MBA.

I didn’t read cover to cover but consumed a good amount of this book which aligned to the course material.

I found it covered the concepts well, each chapter was well illuminated with real world examples and case studies, and it referenced back to fundamental financial concepts really well. Reasonably well structured it was easy to use a reference to refer back to different parts to review concepts when researching assignments.

I found myself referring to this book (rather than googling) a lot more than some other subjects/texts so from my perspective this makes it a great introductory reference on finance.

I read most of this book for school - a finance class. Great explanations of many necessary financial concepts.

I actually understood this class, and I didn't expect to. The textbook was just okay, though.
