This is an OKAY book,
My name is Jameson Thottam and as an individual steeped heavily in finance (graduated from UC Berkeley and attending Wharton’s MBA and focused on financial services such as such as The Loan Page, IndyMac Bank, Homestore), I would give a qualified recommend on this book to those in finance. There are other books that take provide more details on mathematical programing and simulation software (i.e., Linear programming, Monte Carlo Simulations, CRYSTAL BALL / SEC II / @RISK software packages). Additionally, if you like market insider trading (i.e., technical analysis)…you can do much better.
Hope you enjoy,

It wasn’t all what I had expected – I thought it would have given a deeper insight also to the financing aspects.
Rating: 1 / 5
I bought this book for the Harvard pedigree when other books offer more practical detail for the target audience. The text concentrates too much on taxation, a subject unto itself, and calculation of the time value of money. In particular the TVM issue focuses on formula versus concept which is not a service to the audience. Overall, I expected more from a Harvard Business Essentials book.

A really excellent reference book to keep handy. Gives a great overview of key finance concepts and is easy to follow. It was well worth the price and the time spent reading it.
