Stop this nonsense!.......2007-10-01
This book is a P.O.S. The explanations are poor and confusing, I frequently find myself referring to other works for clarity, even on subjects I know well. Profs use this piece of trash because they are too lazy to make the migration to any of the many other better corporate finance books that are now available. Brigham checked out of the authorship business many years ago. This is now simply mechanical production from the Thomson machine.
It's only a outline of the textbook.......2007-03-16
It likes a dictionary. It lists all the definition of the concepts. I recommend you to buy the textbook instead of this book. I have returned it.

Average.......2002-12-13
I wasn't too impressed with this text. I found that many of the chapters were incredibly verbose, and seemed to confuse me even more in some instances. Perhaps one of the problems (obviously not Brigham's fault) was that my prof "wizzed" through some of these chapters, so reading the "wordy, never-ending" chapters was overwhelming. Further, I think that some concepts could have been more simplified, when instead Brigham seemed to ramble and "lost" me.
In short, I think some "academics" (profs, grad students, etc) might be impressed with the depth with which Brigham wrote. However, not all of the students are on the same level, and this must be taken into consideration when the author revises the text. We are using the text as a guide for learning, not as a means to evaluate the author's aptitude in the field of finance...
Book Description
Comprehensive text with enough background material to refresh and reinforce earlier courses in corporate finance and enough advanced material to stimulate the most advanced learner. The predominant strengths of clarity, current coverage, and friendliness to learner and instructors continues in this new edition. Some of the areas where coverage has been expanded include corporate governance and reform, valuation, value based management, cash flow, and newly updated material on real options. The instructor's resources enable outstanding presentations and learning.

Cujo.......2007-02-11
I bought the recent 9th edition of this book, and on the contrary to the previous reviews, i have found the book very helpful (probably the authors made some big changes in this edition). It gave relevant and very good examples with mini real-life cases at the end of every chapter. One of the big advantages in this book is that it gives you answer keys at the end of the book so you can check your answers to end-of-chapter problems. Keep in mind that this is an advanced course textbook so it will assume you have previous "solid" knowledge of concepts like time value of money etc.
Terrible.......2006-10-26
Not worth the paper it was printed on and completely overpriced. If you are an MBA candidate you should save $145 to spend on other study guides.
Financial Book Review.......2006-03-17
I am an MBA student and had to use this book for my Advanced Finance class. It is the most usless book I have purchased for any MBA class. VERY hard to follow and it provides very complicated and unclear examples of how to solve problems or understand concepts. I also got the study guide which was more helpful than the book itself, but it also was horrible. I am not sure why professors choose this book. I used my other finance books and the Internet to help me get through the class, as this book was hard to read, not well organized and offered little help to answer questions that required financial calculations. You better be up on finance topics, statistics, and know all the little symbols because that's all the book provides you. It does little to help you apply real world solutions to "theoretical" problems.
Bad Finances.......2006-03-16
I am presently in a MBA program and have been forced to use this book for our intermediate financial decison class. I have found it to be of very little help and actually muddles things more than clarifying or explaining finances. I have bought 3 other financial books in order to understand the class, all of them better written and far cheaper. This book is terrible in its' semi-explanations of financial formulas. Trying to tie these formulas and examples into any sort of problem application is almost impossible. If you end up having to use this book for a class, you must be prepared to spend a lot more time and money in searching for books that will truly do the job right.
A tough way to learn advanced finance.......2005-02-28
I'm a finance undergrad and currently in an MBA program and had to use this book for my advanced topics in finance class. The book is a difficult read. Hard to mow your way through the subjects and come out feeling like you learned something. CD is only mildly helpful. I also purchased the study guide and it was just as poorly designed/organized/written as the book.
If you have to use the book for a class, plan on getting one of Aswath Damordaran's books to supplement it. Damordaran is just hands down a better teacher, author and makes finance fun again.
Book Description
This supplement lists the key learning objectives for each chapter, outlines the key sections, provides self-test questions, and provides a set of problems similar to those in the text and the Test Bank, but with fully worked out solutions.

Book Description
This issues of OECD's periodic survey of the Russian economy looks at events since the economic crisis of 1998, and includes special features on financial crisis, demonetization, and fiscal federalism. It makes the case that the future stability and growth of the Russian economy will require the continuation of responsible macroeconomic policies, but depends first and foremost on progress in structural reform, including tax reform, effective institutions of bankruptcy, competition, and more decisive and comprehensive measures to combat the process of demonetization, to defend the rule of law, and to realize fundamental reform in fiscal federalist relations.
