Customer Reviews

Excellent

The book is in really good condition and the price is relatively low. I only paid 3 dollars more and got it in 3 days, including a weekend.

Great Book

It's a good book for case studies kind of understanding on accounts and finance valuation.

Excellent Capstone Book

This book is an excellent description of all the elements that would go into reviewing a potential investment opportunity. It is not a detailed book in one category, such as financial accounting, but it ties business strategy analysis, financial analysis, forecasting analysis, and valuation analysis together. Most other books focus on one area and don't tie all of these together well. This one takes you down the path to evaluating the opportunity to its fullest. It is an excellent capstone book after you have sifted through the details of strategy, finance, and accounting.

A good book blending accounting, investing and finance !

This book is also a bestseller in Japan. Here someone called it "The only textbook now available that broadly explains accounting figures in the valuation model of the firm". This is a good book for beginners. Although the contents might be somewhat easy, the order in which it is written is very meaningful. You will probably have read everything in this book somewhere else, but certainly not in this order ! The importance of the ideas in this book go beyond its contents !!

Excellent Textbook on Business Analysis

This is one of the most useful textbooks on business analysis and valuation. The content is practical while based on robust theories.The analysis consists of four components: business strategy, accounting policy, financial performance and prospect. Quantative and qualitative perspectives are balanced. Their explanation is logical and persuasive. You can develop understanding through tens of attached cases.
