3.0 out of 5 stars Targeted solely at executives (very little rigour), 19 Jul 2001
By jidef@yahoo.com (Cannes, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finance for Executives (Hardcover)
This main focus this book is on value creation. It aims to equip "busy" financial managers with the tools they need to make sound financial decisions which positively impact their company's bottom line. It does its job properly by leaving out a lot of the detail & rigour that is common in a lot of finance books.

In addition to the focus on value creation, the other major strength of the book is the attempt to bridge the gap between accounting & finance. Part 2 (chapters 3 to 5) of the book is dedicated to achieving this objective. In this part, Chapter 3 titled "Assessing Liquidity & Operational Efficiency" as well as Chapter 5 titled "Diagnosing Profitability, Risk & Growth" will be a favourite of managers that need to assess the performance of their divisions/companies in a accounting sense.

However in my opinion, the book has some drawbacks. The most obvious being the layout. It was printed in black & white text with a layout that looks more like a very long report or a technical white paper. As a result, it is not easy to quickly locate key facts within the text. In addition, even though all the problems in the book have solutions, they are too few in number & far too easy! The authors may have chosen to do this because of their target audience; its hard to tell. Even though the focus of the book is on value creation, not much is written about Valuation of Companies and Margers & Acquisitions. Chapter 12 is devoted to this topic & it skims valuation methods like DCF, Comparables & APV. Real Options are tucked away in Chapter 6 under a section on the "limitations of the NPV rule". Only 4 pages are devoted to this important topic! The objective seemed to be to get the reader to intuitively understand the importance of real options but not their valuation.

In summary, if you are a busy executive needing a quick introduction/refresher on financial matters so that you can make meaningful input in meetings, this is probably the best book for you. But if you are an aspiring finance professional, it is better to skip this book altogether & try books by authors such as Aswath Damodaran, Simon Benninga, Richard Brealey, Stephen Ross & Mark Grinblatt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it does well., 27 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Finance for Executives: Managing for Value Creation (Hardcover)
OK, so this is not the all aspects covered type of text book. But what it does do is provide short, snappy, well written, sound explanations of the material covered. I have used this more than any of the other texts - simply because it it is easy to use and to the point. A useful addition to the finance library.
