This review is from: The Portable MBA in Finance and Accounting (Paperback) than a liberal arts major, I desperately need to learn about the concepts of corporate finance during the year beginning before my MBA program (I, B School-Fall 2001) and returned to "The Portable MBA in Finance and Accounting" for help, because the "best in class" reputation of the series. Although not completely disappointed, I do not feel in this book live up to its billing.
I found many sections are unclear, especially because the authors need to be stingy Computing, try to describe in words the concepts of number, something like "a screwdriver to cut roast beef," as Tom Robbins joked, once. Moreover, said the format of the Series of Portable MBA "with different authors, each a chapter, undermines the cohesion of the work. A book by an author (written or edited more consistently with one voice) tend to be better together. For example, I have only a brief introduction to financial management, "Finance and Accounting for Non-Financial" by Steven Finkler, because of itsCohesive voice, I have an MBA from the laptop.
On the positive side, the first chapter is a brilliant representation of how the company Tag Day will be reflected in standard accounting reports. This section also shows how an administrator can use a spreadsheet to see how changes in prices or costs that affect the bottom line, the "finance and how you can create a strategy. I also found the chapter on budget support. However, if the book focuses on the financing, the shortage of maths really starts to feel. If not for the book Finkler, I doubt there was the slightest idea what is capital budgeting. All in all: "The PMBA M & A" is a decent book, but he is wrong. However, when it is illuminated brilliantly.
