Book Description
"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. This Concise version of the extremely successful, Brigham/Houston-Fundamentals of Financial Management, contains the same level of topical rigor while also reflecting the latest in theory, research, real-world examples, and use of technology as Fundamentals. 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.

Excellent textbook for gaining an understanding of Finance.......2007-03-10
This text book is an excellent resource for understanding Financial Management. It was a required text in my MBA program and the book is easy to go through on your own. There are exercises, or self tests, at the end of each section in the chapters, as well as many types of problems and self test questions at the end of the chapters.
We had a mediocre teacher in my MBA program, so going through the text was imperative. The authors do a great job breaking down concepts and some of the examples at end of chapter sections have the answers.
I comes with a supplemental booklet to further help undertand the "Time Value of Money" which, according to the authors, is a difficult concept.
One big plus for this text is that it shows you how to figure out the problems using formulas, using financial caluclators, and using an Excel spreadsheet.
I highly recommend doing the examples and problems in the book, and ordering the study guide. The study guide has additional examples and problems to work through and is the perfect supplement.
This is one text I am going to keep!

Book Description
Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts 3e by Edmonds/Edmonds/Tsay focuses on concepts that are isolated and introduced in a logical sequence. The authors intentionally limit the scope of the material to help students build a solid foundation of the most important concepts in managerial accounting. Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts 3e is organized in a distinctive way, particularly in the first six chapters. The objective is to establish a coherent, integrative framework that enables students to build knowledge in stepwise fashion. The authors’ goal is for students to understand the underlying principles of accounting, not just memorize content.

Great for Non-Accountants.......2006-10-19
I found the book to be attractively put together and full of examples. They address both manufacturing and non-manufacturing environments - including service industries. Managerial Accounting is a vital tool for businesses as it provides techniques for making better business decisions based on data instead of "hunches". Nonetheless, the material can be difficult to get through. The authors understand this and use real-life examples to help give insight as to the way businesses use these analysis techniques. Because the material can be challenging, I can understand some people finding the material boring. However, given the type of material, I feel the authors have done a commendable job in communicating the material in an appealing way.
Boring read for good subject.......2002-04-17
Reading through this book is a BORE! :( Examples are almost non-existant, there's like nothing (like definitions) on the sides of the pages, and no glossary. How poorly written! Please find an alternative to learn this rather interesting subject. Thank you!

Disappointing.......2001-05-01
Having previously read "Fundamental Financial Accounting Concepts" by the same people, this book was a disappointment. It came off as incredibly dry, and was not all that clear in its presentation of the concepts. The "Fundamental Financial Accounting" volume is great, but I'd recommend another author for the managerial book.

Covers everything .......2007-09-27
When buying this book at amazon I thought might be it will not cover everything including chapters and problems but trust me I could locate everything that this book should cover.
Thanx to Amazon.
An outstanding text for the study of managerial economics!.......2006-10-06
As an instructor of economics, I give high marks to Mark Hirschey in his compilation of a textbook designed for studying a subject integral for any student of business or administrative sciences. It is designed primarily for those who may not necessarily have a strong quantitative background but need to understand the fundamentals of decision making and its application of economic concepts. The study of management comes from economics in that a manager makes decisions to maximize the objectives of an organization by efficiently allocating limited resources given limited choices or alternatives. The means of efficiently utilizing resources form the basis for making sound economic decisions whether an individual is running a small business operation or directing the workings of a major corporation.
Hirschey provides excellent examples to support the concepts that he presents in each chapter. There are a total of 18 chapters along with appendices. Each chapter tries to relate both management and economic principles to the workings of a business entity and show what real world problems may impede the applications of theoretical concepts. The manager is both a decision maker and a risk taker, and each decision he/she makes has both short-run and long-run results. One need not have an extensive quantitative background to attempt to solve the problems that Hirschey presents at the end of each chapter.
Mark Hirschey has provided a clear and concise text for understanding the economic applications to decision making in the business world. It is not surprising that a number of academic institutions use this book as the standard text for their managerial economics classes both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Teachers should find it suitable to use for enhancing the learning processes of future business and professional leaders with its numerous illustrations and examples of important concepts and its continuous references to contemporary issues.
Very Disappointed.......2005-09-17
I am using this text for a managerial economics class for MBA students. I selected this text because it includes chapters on statistics, linear programming and risk, which I am covering in the class. Unfortunately, it is filled with errors - typos, incorrect formulas, and misrepresentation of basic economic concepts, such as derived demand. Some of the typos and other mistakes make concepts very confusing for the students. I am extremely disappointed. I expected much better from a book that is the eighth edition. I do not understand how it went to print with so many mistakes. I have contacted the publisher. I will not be using this text again.
Good at fixing a problem.......2005-09-12
This company was quick to respond to problems and I find them reliable.
A comprehensive tool of Managerial Economics.......2000-08-26
Hirschey described the beauty of managerial economics in a very faishonable way. The fundaments were placed in balanced way and its clear with upto the point information. I enjoyed reading this book more than a study material.
Book Description
Students are often overwhelmed by the amount of information presented in the introductory financial accounting course. Fundamental Financial and Managerial Accounting Concepts gives students the big picture, by focusing on fundamental concepts in a logical sequence. The authors intentionally limit the scope of the material to help students build a solid foundation of the most important concepts. As a result, students are able to fully comprehend the material rather than memorize seemingly unrelated terms and topics. In the Financial portion the “horizontal financial statements model” enables students to understand how any given business event affects the financial statements. This highly praised feature allows students to visualize the simultaneous impact of business events on all of the key financial statements (the income statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows). The mechanics of accounting coverage (debits and credits) is delayed until chapter 3 allowing instructors the flexibility in the amount of emphasis they want to place on this topic.

Great seller.......2005-10-02
Book was a little more used than described, but hey for the price it couldn't be beat. To bad my sylabus was wrong and the professor changed the edition. Anyhow, seller was excellent. Fast shipping and I would reccommend.
My first accounting book.......2005-02-16
I used this textbook for my first accounting class and it was by far the best. Examples are all spelled out step by step and the numerous exercies and problems contribute to a higher level of understanding. Buy the workbook offered. It will save you a lot of time normally spent setting up the problem. Much better then some of the higher level books I have used.
Fundamental Accounting Principles.......2000-12-12
This text was VERY helpful. The illustrations and examples were enough to explain the topic without havung to read the entire book.. Also the problems given at the end of each section were very good. Some were tough; however, the author starts you out with easy problems and works up to the more difficult ones. This text definitely is a good learning aid.

Great book. Easy to understand but leaves a few things out.......2004-11-20
I bought the 9th edition as the bookstore was clearing old stocks. At US $1.20 this book is a bargain, though the value of the information in this book is obviously much more than that.
It covers most topics but some things like derivatives are given only a cursory glace.
Nevertheless a good introduction to the basics of financial management.
Excellent book!.......2002-12-04
Comprehensive, accesible and updated with great Web resources. Highly recommended!
Great book, up-to-date.......2002-11-04
This is a fun and easy to understand book for a often-tedious though important subject --corporate finance. Wachowicz takes pain to update the book through his web page. Excellent!
This is one of the best corporate finance book.......2001-10-27
This book is used in the Applied Capital Budgeting at University of Massachussetts Dartmouth. It's a very helpful and useful book. In order to understand time value of money, financial statement analysis , capital budgeting and risk , return , I am strongly advise you to buy this book.
One of the best.......2000-05-31
I have my copy (9th edition) open next to me as I write this review. I used it as an MBA student at the University of Tennessee, seen the new edition in the bookstore and still use it as a reference today. The book continues to reflect the breadth and depth of knowledge the author has for corporate finance.
I have one qualm: revisions should have an emphasis on the latest in their field (unless you have a book on dead English poets! ). Where this book is unshakeable in relaying the fundamentals to the students of finance, it could possible use more information on areas like EVA, CCV, derivatives, etc. But then again, this book is about fundamentals, right? Regardless, a great book.
