Excellent content of important financial concepts, always keeping focus on teaching the implications financial analysis can have on managers, executives and companies.

Really concise, useful book |
|
After dealing with fat hard-cover textbooks with hard-to-find answers, this book is refreshingly concise and useful. It sounds strange, but I could actually call this a "readable" textbook-- i.e. sit down and read it cover to cover-- which is an accomplishment for a textbook. Highly recommended. |

One of the best Financial Text Books I've Come Across |
I have to say, I normally wouldn't consider writing a review for a text book. But this one is good.
In most of the financial classes I've attended, I am usually left scratching my head when introduced to new concepts because the text is so dense and the examples provided very rarely explain it enough. This textbook is so well-written that, although much of the material builds upon concepts introduced in earlier chapters, reading the earlier chapters isn't entirely required to understand the subject matter: each chapter stands on its own.
Also, Higgins's style is reminiscent of those fine classic textbooks from the mid-20th century, such as Elements of Style by Strunk & White and The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, interjecting dry, and at times belly-laughingly funny, humor into the text.
This book deserves to be a classic. |

Easy to understand... |
|
This book has been around for a while and is useful even for people without a Finance background. As you proceed further in the book, the chapters get in to complicated issues in finance. Nevertheless its important for a manager to understand the financial implications of every decision. Strongly recommend. |

An understandable text book! |
|
I was asked my a corporate finance professor to purchase this book along with our school required text book. This book was a fraction of the size of our text book and packed a much greater punch. Just read this book and skip out on your textbook because the text teachers you nothing that can be applied to real life situation. |
