5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Return on Investment!, 15 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Finance for Non-financial Managers in a Week (Successful business in a week) (Paperback)

Very good guide and good value for money. Highly recommended. Covers the fundamentals and the basic principals of Finance in a clear and simplified way, without being too numerical. Money well spent!

1.0 out of 5 stars At least it takes only a week!, 21 July 2007

Mr. Robert Slack (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Finance for Non-financial Managers in a Week (Paperback)

I bought this as a possible recommendation to students; I teach a course Finance for Non-Fin-Managers on an MBA programme.I cannot see how reading this book would help my students. It is inaccurate in many important places (even allowing for its non-specialist nature) and just plain wrong in others. It explains very little. Anyone who reads this book and feels s/he has moved from ignorance to enlightenment has probably moved only to blissful ignorance!(I mean no offence to those who read it and thought it helpful)

3.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Business Finances, 27 Mar 2010

Prolific Reader ""M"" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Finance for Non-financial Managers in a Week (Paperback)

Finance for Non-financial Managers IN A Week by Roger Mason is by the Chartered Management Institute with each chapter covering one day of the week (have they never heard of a day of rest?).

It's not the easiest of books to read, but it is about finances, so can hardly be expected. The book covers profit statement, costs, debt, depreciation, fixed assets, debit and credit, working capital, cash flow, stock turn, investments, working capital, debtors, creditors, break even charts, sales budget ad a few other items.

And a few illustrations to lighten the mood which is not the easiest of reads, but nonetheless is helpful in areas.

I have to agree with the reviewer who found this lacking. Really all this teaches you is basic terminology. Read more
