Book Reviews of Fundamentals of Financial Management (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition)

Book Review: Too basic for an MBA class
Summary: 2 Stars

I got this book as the accompanying textbook to a Financial Management Class. Our class had to study most of the material on its own. As it usually is, the majority of the work is done at home hitting textbooks and figuring out how formulas are derived, which variables go where, and how fundamnetal coefficients (beta, alpha) are calculated.
Well this book is not well suited to acquire a solid foundation in finance without consulting better books or the internet. The result is: one needs much more time than actually necessary to learn the material.
Furthermore there are some statements; for instance "...multinational corporations (MNCs) issue stock in foreign countries..."; well I knew that, too, prior to this class. But why doesn't this book a little bit better explain why MNCs actually do this? There are several of such unexplained statements in the book. I am very disappointed.
Even though this book is really just about the fundamentals, it should have much better caught those fundamentals. I think I have to go to the Stanford, Harvard, or MIT MBA syllabi to find a good financial management book which goes a bit more in depth.
This book is priced by weight not by content! Definitely not worth the ~$160.

Summary of Fundamentals of Financial Management (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition)

"Brigham/Houston: A Classic, redefined...because a classic never goes out of style." The market leader, Brigham/Houston, continues to grow in reputation and amount of users as the most effective approach for teaching the first undergraduate corporate finance course. The seamless, integrated ancillary package, still painstakingly prepared by the authors, is a hallmark of the Brigham/Houston package which reduces course preparation time for instructors and makes the subject more accessible for learners. New for this edition is the addition of iLrn Finance, an online student assessment and tutorial resource to help improve student performance. Additionally, access to Thomson ONE - Business School Edition, an online financial database that students can use to complete projects or select end of chapter exercises, is included with each new text.
