Managerial-finance

This book is a great book to help those preparing for the CPA exam. It is helpful with outlines organized by topic with questions following each section. They also provide techniques for passing this horrible test!!

This is a well written book with concrete examples and real, accurate questions. It helped me to pass the exam the first time I took it.

The authors have put approached this topic in a step by step way. It explains important background topics as well. I bought this book for a class, so I really didn't have much choice in the matter. I expect that most buyers will do so for the same reason. To them, I say "don't worry about it," this won't hurt as much as you think." If you are considering this for pleasure reading, well, don't let me stop you.

Probably one of the few only books available that talks about CBA. Lacks in real life examples, otherwise a good read for grasping basic concepts and tools.

This is the single best introduction to cost-benefit analysis available. I teach a master's level-upper division course in cost-benefit analysis at the University of California, San Diego, and have looked at many books. I always come back to this one. Because it is unfortunately out of print, I have to place it on reserves rather than having the students purchase it. The book contains a surprising amount of information and very mature insights into the philosophical and ethical basis of applied welfare economcis and cost-benefit analysis. Yet the book does not bog down in unneccessary detail or technicalities. The book is unfortunately too limited in its scope and could be updated and expanded. It should also spend a chapter or two on project evaluation in less developed countries. I have to use Kohli's book, Economic Analysis of Investment Projects, for this purpose. There are other books which contain more detail but these require a more sophisticated knowledge of microeconomics and especially applied welfare economics. An expanded version of the book could also profit from more practical information on "how to do" cost-benefit analysis, such as along the lines of Sassone and Schaefer, Cost-Benefit Analysis. The book is well written.

I found this book innovative and helpful. It provides informative examples best practices, case studies and the latest strategies & techniques that companies can use to control costs and maximize profitability. In a tough fiscal year, I will be reading this book over and over again to find more new ways to save money.
