Exact same copy and quality of the hardcover. Basically the hardcover with binder holes for less money and it comes with My finance lab.
well I bought this book because it looked the same as the one that was sold in our school's bookstore. However, it turns out that this product does not have MyFinancelab in it. I would like to question whoever wrote the review before me because I trusted his review and bought this product to find out that there is no MyFinancelab
I ordered this book for an MBA course. The material is presented in a straight-forward manner and the chapters are explained enough, however I don't know if I would recommend this book to anyone looking to teach themselves this subject, as there are surely other textbooks out there that are more dynamic for self-starters. Having a professor teaching in conjunction with this material is a must in my opinion.*Please Note* Make SURE when ordering this book you realize that this is NOT the COMPLETE edition of this text; hence "The Core" in the title. There are around 300 extra pages in the full text (seen here: http://www..com/Corporate-Finance-MyFinanceLab-Pearson-Student/dp/0132745097/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328471461&sr=8-1).If buying for class, make sure to check what chapters are covered in your course; if this text meets your needs, it is a great way to save some money as opposed to buying the full edition.
I am not a "finance person" so my finance class was very challenging for me, and I had a lot of trouble understanding the textbook book recommended by professor. I decided to look at some other books at the library to see if there was something that was easier to understand. This book was much easier for me to understand.I decided to buy the loose-leaf one so that I can carry around just the chapters that I need to read and not have to deal with a big heavy book. I stapled each chapter together and take just one chapter with me at a time so I can easily read it while waiting in line, while at the gym, etc. This makes it less tedious than having to sit down with a big book.
An excellent introduction to (corporate) finance. The book starts off with the time value of money concepts and slowly progresses to the more nuanced aspects in corporate finance. It gives an excellent foundation to different theories and uses it to explain phenomena experienced in the financial markets.
I believe this book is great and very helpful if required for a class or just to learn more about corporate finance. The delivery of the book was very prompt as well and I am very happy with the transaction. Two thumbs up!
Corporate Finance was a snooze to read. The format from text to mathematical theory to example could have been blocked better for easier reading. The problems were helpful and illustrated the math needed. Some of the "excel" problems were using excel for a big calculator, but others were rather tricky and labor intensive. The summaries at the end of each chapter were pretty thorough. There were a lot of "current" information articles from "people in the industry", which of course are already out of date. The book could have saved the trees on that and just provided the "classic" information. Too bad it doesn't come in Kindle format.
This product was purchased new, but showed up clearly used. It has gashes on it, the binding is dented, and corners are dog eared. I need this for my classes, and now I have to send it back to get the actual new one. As a very loyal .com customer I'm shocked, angry, CHEATED, and I want a refund along with a new book.
