Book Description
International Financial Management combines the fundamental concepts of international finance with solid practical applications. This combination has made it the book of choice at a variety of institutions, including top business schools such as Wharton, Stanford, Northwestern, and INSEAD. Neither superficial nor overly theoretical, Eun and Resnick's approach offers a conceptually solid, yet still relevant, treatment of international financial topics that puts students on the right track to becoming effective global financial managers.

Useless!!!.......2007-04-11
First and foremost, all the previous 7 reviews are not for this "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines". It's a shame that Amazon used the reviews for textbook itself without verifying the contents of the totally different "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines".
So disregard the previous 7 reviews and let's talk about this "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines".
This is supposed to be a companion book for a textbook published by McGraw-Hills Irvin, "International Financial Management" 3rd edition by Eun and Resnick.
However, this "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is useless!!! This is nothing but a bunch of glossary. And a half of the book is blank for writing notes. What a rip-off!!!
There's no outlines at all. No chapter summaries, no explanation of concepts. Totally useless.
I have used "Collins College Outlines" series (I rate them 3 stars) and "Barron's Business Reviews" series (I rate them 5 stars).
Never buy any of "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" series.
Extra notes: textbook "International Financial Management" is now 4th edition. Another reason why this "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is useless.
Technical notes: "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is POD (Print on demand). No wonder quality of printing is inferior (Looks like a Xerox copy). And priced too high for this quality. For those who are not familiar with publishing industry--POD is used for ultra small quantity less than 100 copies. This is a telltale sign that book is not expected to sell minimum quantity (usually 3,000 copies) that commercial publisher is willing to commit to publish. Simply put, POD means inferior and overpriced books. A work of amateur.
The most disgusting textbook I ever read!.......2006-12-12
This is the most disgusting book I have ever read.
This not actually a textbook, but a bunch of statistical data. Authors even do not try to teach you, what they try is to make you familiar with techniques and tools used in the world. Yes, they do provide you with some simple examples, but do not teach you how to apply. They try to be concise, instead of being concise, they just ommit a lot of information and provide book references for you to search on your own.
If you want to get familiar with the most modern financial tools, you can buy it, but if your goal is to learn, get a profound understanding of concepts, train yourself, then look for another option.
The authors, from my point of view, just scholars, who do know a lot, but unfortunately, cannot teach and explain.
The book lacks exercises. There are some, but do not pretend to master swaps or hedging doing them. Book is just a statistical summary on current situation in financial markets, some theories, which of little value for a real job and that is all.
Do not pay for it, unless you are Warren Buffet. :))
Finance in Practice.......2006-11-10
The approach this book has on the International Finance topic is good. Some chapters have more theory than others which might be confusing for someone without a business background. However, the examples provided are excellent.
Boring.......2006-02-23
Wow...This book was boring and confusing. I got it for my international finance class and it is just really hard to follow. It was a waste of money.
Step-by-step guide from the master.......2002-03-10
This book set me up very nicely for a career in forex markets. Possibly the gentlest introduction to international finance, the book does not waste any time with implementation of the ideas, instead provides you with the requisite knowledge, and illustrative examples. I had the fortune of being taught the subject by the author (Dr. Eun), and so the book was fully utilized. However, other teachers would also find the book an ideal companion to course notes. In fact, the book is so well written, it seems like a tutorial. You cannot go wrong if you are using it for international finance courses. The book will also help you with preparation for the CFA charter examinations.
Book Description
All too often, companies focus on the threats and risks inherent in venturing abroad. But multinational firms actually have unique opportunities that are not available to purely domestic firms. Now updated, revised, and reorganized, Alan Shapiro’s Foundations of Multinational Financial Management, 5/e will help you take advantage of these valuable opportunities. Foundations emphasizes broad concepts and practices and provides a clear conceptual framework for analyzing key financial decisions in multinational firms. The text treats international financial management as a natural and logical extension of the principles learned in the foundations course in financial management.
Customer Reviews:
Wordy and confusing.......2006-05-02
The author uses a lot of wordy language to make simple concepts complicated. Also I agree with another review: there is a lot of macroeconomics. I think Dr. Shapiro needs to understand how his readers learn, not how he can enjoy his writing.
Can be confusing, major focus on economics.......1999-06-11
This textbook may not be a good choice for undergraduate students or for someone who does not have an intermediate or higher knowledge of finance. Wording in the chapters and in the end of chapter problems can be confusing. Statements are made and then not backed up with supporting information. The book spends a large amount of time on a macroeconomic view.
Excellent book........1999-06-11
We adopted this book during the first semester of 1999 with excellent results. Our students were delighted with the practical approach, and the breadth of its contents. Recently our country has been through a monetary turmoil, and the book served very much to explain the policies that our local central bank authorities have been pursuing.
Book Description
The Ninth Edition of this market leader communicates the complexities of international finance clearly and authoritatively. The book features a streamlined presentation, expanded attention to emerging markets, several new chapters, and four new decision cases with an emerging-markets focus. An accompanying new Casebook by Michael Moffett includes in-depth decision cases keyed to the coverage in the Eiteman text. The authors have a knack for communicating the complexities of international finance to today's students in a manner that is clear and understandable. For anyone interested in business.
Customer Reviews:
Book Not worth the Money Paid.......2007-07-31
Too much money for a useless book!!!!
I strongly agree with the two reviews previous to mine. The book gets you interested at the begining, but let you down afterwards. It has little depth in the topics and many flaws when comes to explaining things. In exemple, the "Fisher Effect" was never explained, but all the book gives you is the formula. There is little explanation about the components and variables in the formulas. So, you have to rely heavily on your instructor.
There are almost no calculation examples and use of formulas. The teory in the book is not well explained either. So, you get more confused. That in my opinion is because the authors did not spend enough time to present the material clearly and the editors did not review and edit the book to increase the readability and comprehension. To illustrate what I am talking about, there is a lot of white space in the book (implies it lacks substance) and the text refers to graphs or charts shown in one/two pages before or after. Compared to other finance books I had in the past, this whole book looks like a compilation of bad summary sections.
In conclusion, it was not worth the money. It got me confused and wasted my time. In case you have to use it because it is mandatory, rely on your notes and instrutor's lectures.
Lacks cohesion.......2005-12-16
This book has cursory overview of everthing and lacks detail. Also, each chapter starts well to get you excited on what you are going to learn and at the end of each chapter, you can't really tell whether it addressed the topics in enough details to give you the necessary understanding.
Good, yet not good enough........2002-07-22
This book gives plenty of background into international finance. Unfortunately, it has some big flaws, in my opinion. First, there are not enough calculation examples. Second, there are too few questions at the end of each chapter. In addition, you must go to the author's website for the solution. Once you get there, you will be surprised to find out that the author has only solved maybe two out of eight problems. That's annoying. I do not recommend this book. Take a class from another professor who uses a different text book.

great book to understand financial functions.......2000-04-21
I read the Japanese version of this book. This is one of the best finalce books I've ever read. This book helped me to understand much better the future of financial businesses. It is especially good in explaining: what is the rationale for financial intermediaries to exist, how capital markets evolved, why corporations hedge by themselves, and how asymmetric information affects financial instruments.
Book Description
Never HIGHLIGHT a Book Again! Virtually all testable terms, concepts, persons, places, and events are included.look no further for study resources or reference material. Cram101 Textbook Outlines gives all of the outlines, highlights, notes, and practice-tests for your textbook. Only Cram101 is Textbook Specific. Cram101 is NOT the Textbook.

Verbose and Obtuse.......2006-11-14
I used this book for the first and last time in Autumn term 2006 with 28 foreign students in my Global Finance MBA course. When one wishes to make money by consistently reissuing new editions he has an obligation to update it at least minimally, (The Paul Samuelson Rule). In this case Greed is not good.
Hence, my exasperation when I open the 2006 edition of the book and on the first page learn that the currency of Belgium is the Belgian franc, the currency of Ireland is the pound,(Ireland's curency was never the pound; it was the punt) or that Germany still has the DM. Many of students lost points on a midterm because they thought the currency of Finland is is the markka. Shapiro in 2006 says so. On the next page he fails to mention Monaco; there are a lot of capital flows internationally through Monoco. And on that page Spain still has a peseta.Portugal has escudos.
The book also suffers from wordiness. I did like the key phrases section in each chapter; I thought at least that all key phrases would be included in the glossary but I could find all there. There is a certain obtuseness which I did find perplexed my students sometimes, who did not quite enjoy this book as I had hoped. We would not use it again.
I tried to contact the author by email with several queries but did not experience the courtesy of a reply.
Sometimes Wordy.......2005-08-21
This is one of the better books for a course in international finance. It has cases in the text, which allows the student to get the real world intuition of the topics that are being covered. This is not a text that only extends capital budgeting to an international setting, it also includes some concepts borrowed from international economics (e.g. purchasing power parity, interest rate parity, covered interest arbitrage, etc.). It also looks into some risk management practices that are relevant for multinational corporations. However, I feel that some topics could have been cut short and the author just wanted to add a few (hundred) more pages to the text.
Good Introduction to the Subject, in Some Parts too Brief.......2004-12-14
The book "Multinational Financial Management" is a good introduction to this rather complex subject. It is written well and contains a lot of examples and historical references. Some of the chapters in the second part are kept a tad too short though.
The book covers the main topics of international financial management, the environment of international financial management, foreign exchange and derivatives market and risk management, financing of multinational corporations, foreign investment analysis and multinational working capital management in 5 main sections.
I found most parts of the text to be very well readable and easy to understand. All concepts are backed up by examples and separate illustrations discussing a real event in more or less detail. This works especially well in the first chapters of the text covering the simpler concepts. Subjects like international monetary systems or country risk analysis (to just mention a few) are covered in great detail, and the required math, e.g. the formulas used for the parity conditions and the Fisher Effect, are illustrated with enough examples even for someone with little or no mathematical background.
The parts of the book covering derivatives is too short and the theory provided does not go deep enough in order to comprehend the more complex examples easily. Trying to figure out the mechanics of Kodak's Zero Coupon Australian Dollar Interest Rate/Currency Swap involving 11 parties, multiple swaps and currencies was no easy task after a mere 2 1/2 page theoretical introduction to currency swaps. There are better books for understanding currency swaps.
Other parts not covered deep enough were the chapters on international project and firm evaluation (covering subject like WACC and CAPM). With just this book, it is impossible to get an idea of the real meaning of these models and techniques. Too many details are omitted that should have been covered. Granted, these are more complex subjects, but maybe the author should have either keep the book focused on the main topics or split the content over two books.
Overall, the first part of the book is very useful, but the more complex subjects are not covered with the depth they require.
It does not get any better than this.......2003-12-01
This is a comprehensive and masterfully written book; all MBA students and anybody doing business in or curious about the global economy will benefit from reading this work. All the fundamental principles of the field are clearly described and extensive real-world examples and case studies are given in which principles are synthesized and analyzed to create a very understandable and thorough learning framework. The result is one of the best textbooks I have ever read. The complex subjects of exchange rates, international monetary system, currency forecasting, country risk, foreign exchange rates, currency futures and options, swaps and interest rate derivatives, translation and transaction exposure, measuring and managing economic exposure, corporate strategy and capital budgeting for the multinational corporation, and more are covered.
