Corporate Financial Management
Corporate Financial Management
Description:
MBA & intermediate undergraduate-level corporate finance or financial management courses. This book, from the former editors of FMA’s Journal of Financial Management, is the first into integrate the major developments made in finance in the last twenty years, such as principal-agent considerations, asymmetric information considerations, & contingent claims analysis. The format parallels that of competitors, but the new material is woven into, & enriches, the traditional presentations. This is also the first corporate finance textbook into truly marry practice with theory, by having a full-time practitioner author.

I used this book as an undergraduate at UW-Madison and a graduate at UVa. I found the material helpfull and easy to understand. Great for the undergraduate course, however it is not up to par for graduate level analysis.

The third edition of EFS is the best corporate finance textbook/reference available. The text correctly does several things. First, it uses the Principles to tie the topics together. Second, the author’s mix of academic and professional experience allows for a book that is both real world and theoretically correct. Third, the book’s layout makes it user friendly.
I especially like the integration of agency issues and (real) options throughout the book.
Within the past year, I have taught from Brigham (et al), Ross (et al), Emery (et al) and reviewed Brealey (et al), Block and Hirt, Berk and Demarzo, and Smart (et al). I have Weaver and Weston, but have not reviewed it. Emery Finnerty and Stowe is easily the best textbook and reference. Brigham has dumbed down its text to the point where students do not have enough information to understand a topic. Ross and Brealey continue to write books of mostly theoretical correctness while ignoring usability and consistency. Berk and Demarzo is new, but trends to the Ross style.
The book is appropriate for senior, graduate, and corporate university classes. The book can be used for both core and major courses.
My only complaint as an instructor is the lack of supplemental materials (probably due to its low percent of market share) and relative lack of variation on end of chapter problems. End of chapter questions are excellent.

This book was a required text for Corporate Finance (part of an MBA program). I found this book very, very boring. Still, it covered the topics and provided some examples. I made it through the course with excellent marks – but I can’t help but think the author could have cut down on words and still made his point.
Good book if you are having trouble sleeping at night.

This book has been a good book for understand basic financial management concepts, but the quality of the paper of the book and the quality of the printed is bad, looks like if somebody got some copies and put the pages together for sale.

I am just past half-way in my MBA program. I don’t think I have ever encountered a more poorly written book in my academic career. In most every chapter, there is no “big picture” tie-in mentioned or hinted at. Each new paragraph (or new section) seems to just present more information. Attempting to learn about corporate finance by reading this book is like having someone feed you a meal one english pea at a time. Each nugget of knowledge is good, but you can’t tell how anything is related. Also it seems that a different person wrote the questions at the end of each chapter. For example, I am trying to answer a question in Chapter 18 about dividend policy. The words “discretionary cash flow” are used in the question. But they are not used anywhere else in the book up to this point! I know this for a fact because I have both the printed copy and the PDF copy (which means I can let the computer search for terms for me). I am not angry at the authors or publishers of this book. But I beg any instructors who are considering this as a text book to use it only as a last resort.
