(More customer reviews)Saved close to $100 compared to what I would've had to pay for a new copy at the school bookstore. Book was used, but in good condition and just fine for what I needed it for. Thanks for the great deal.

International Financial Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It was quite difficult to find a good book on international financial markets/managements. Since it inevitably involves the concepts such as forward/swap, exchange rate risks, interest parity, balance of payments, and so on, a good book needs to have some rigor in clearly explaining important concepts (a good intro for Ph.Ds) and to contain good introduction to how international financial markets work in reality (wonderful reference for MBAs).
I had an opportunity to read an earlier draft of this book when I took International finance course a few years ago taught by Professor Hodrick himself. The draft did a superb job in explaining the theories and international financial markets at the same time. I'm really glad this has been finally published so that other people outside his classrooms have access to these materials. I got hold of this book today and it seems it's been more polished than the draft I had.
I wish the solution manual could come out together, but I heard it's on the way.

Financial Statement Analysis: A Valuation Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this book in two "Business Analysis using Financial Statements" financial accounting classes and found it to be useful the few times I needed to use it as a reference.
The text represents what I think is a fair mix of both accounting (the reading and interpretation of financial statements) and finance (the valuation) perspectives. It contains more or less what I would have expected from a book with "A Valuation Approach" in the title: multiples, various valuation models (DCF, APV, etc), etc. But it's technically an accounting book in my mind, so it also contains examples for all of the major topics that it covers using 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and other SEC statements as examples.

This book combines finance, accounting, and business strategy theory with enough real accounting information to demonstrate how to actually use financial statement data in valuation and analysis. It will also teach readers how to understand the corporate finance theory behind it. A five-part organization covers an introduction to security analysis, business and financial analysis, cash flow valuation models, special issues in valuation, and multiples valuation. For anyone involved in valuation work—in financial analysis, corporate financial planning, business development, mergers and acquisition analysis, investment banking, valuation in an accounting firm, and valuation consulting.
