Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Simple and understandable Comment: I am a lecturer in college finance. I consider this the best undergraduate finance textbook for non-finance majors in the market, compared to the standard texts by Brealey & Myers or Brigham & Houston. It's simple, understandable, and a joy to read. Its organization is logical and consistent: beginning with accounting related concepts before proceeding to time value of money and capital budgeting techniques. Other books begin with accounting, then jump to time value and its applications, then jumping back into working capital management. It avoids complicated academic theory and focuses on the essentials and their practical applications. Some might complain of the lack of modern financial academic theory such as CAPM and MPT, but then again, how many managers really use these concepts in the real-world? 5 stars! Customer Rating: Summary: Very good book Comment: This is a very good introductory book for beginners from a finance and accounting perspective. Customer Rating: Summary: Unhelpful textbook for accelerated courses Comment: I experienced the textbook and Self-Study CD, with no other study guide. I used this textbook with an online course (compressing 16 weeks into 8) and it was the most unhelpful textbook I have ever encountered! Perhaps with more time it would be clearer, but my fellow online students agreed that this was a difficult text to work with in a short time. A basic Accounting course should be a prerequisite, although that does not ensure success. The book assumes you have taken it. I hadn't but struggled along anyway - I highly recommend Wikipedia.com as a study aid. This textbook does not give clear definitions. If you enjoy reverse-engineering, this will not bother you. New concepts are presented in a convoluted manner, not This = That, but a whole paragraph on This without saying what it actually means, along with a series of (finished, not step-by-step) examples. You are meant to "get it" in context. Tip: know your terminology and several synonyms. Study questions and tests often use different words and phrases for concepts in the chapter than what they were initially named or stated as. The CD provides a quick-reference glossary (equivalent to the back of the book), chapter summaries, practice tests, and handy Excel worksheets for many of the chapter problems. The tests were good, but remember the Tip. Another Tip: a squishy Stress Ball or Ergobeads product is a wise investment for frustration management (if you don't take to this subject like a duck to water).

Very clear in presentation of material, easy to follow. Foundations of Financial Management is a proven and successful text recognized for its excellent writing style and step-by-step explanations to make the content relevant and easy to understand. The text's approach focuses on the "nuts and bolts" of finance with clear and thorough treatment of concepts and applications. There is a strong real-world emphasis presented throughout. This text has definitely stood the test of time due to the authors' time, energy, and commitment to quality revisions. The authors write the entire book and all of the problems themselves. Block and Hirt know what works and what doesn't work for students, and they have consistently maintained a high quality textbook that is responsive to the demands of the marketplace.
