 Disappointment September 26, 2008
The only feeling I can express is disappointment. This book is nothing else than a simple and thin guide regarding software that you can only use for 30 days. If you are only interested in the software you can download the trial version directly from the website without spending money buying this book.
 The mother lode !! May 22, 2008

No finance book or finance compilation ever published, attempts to do, what this book does successfully, which is to give practitioners the ability to learn thru real world example, using hands on techniques. This book is ambitious, that is for sure; and it hits a home run !!
Dr Mun always sets a high standard for other finance writers, due to the clarity of his teaching, and this book is a treasure trove. Standing ovation !! Like every other book Dr Mun has written, first and foremost, this book empowers the reader. Well done !!
Very Impressive! May 22, 2008

Once again I am impressed with Dr. Mun's scope and ability to effectively communicate advanced analytic methodologies and models. Clearly, the interested parties in any of his books are those who desire to integrate analytics into strategic decision making and demand accurate valuations. After reading his two prior books - Real Options Analysis and Modeling Risk - it was clear to me that he has great command of finance, econometrics, statistics and their real world applications. This most recent book further expounds both the intensity and span of his ability to apply even more in-depth analytical methods and models with clarity. However, it seems almost unavoidable that he use his software to provide both proofs and visuals needed to demonstrate or this book would be, well, huge. The issue of utilizing the software he has developed seems not to be the issue from my perspective because if I thought I could do it better - then I have a free thirty day look and could then proceed to build an application on my own. However, he did raise the bar in favor purchasing the software simply because he has priced his software very low compared to the value one can capture.
A great book full of practical cases May 21, 2008

How do you value making the right decisions..... May 21, 2008

This book is a must have guide for those that make real world decisions! In this fiercely competitive world, gut feel and intuitive decision making is not enough. One must leverage the computational power available today and the analytical tools that Dr. Mun describes in his book to gain the needed competitive advantage to wade through the complex decisions that must be made today. Dr. Mun provides a set of tools that takes the complexities out of leveraging these complex analytical methods.
Yes, it does require the use of the software tools that you may have to purchase to continue taking the complexity out of the analytical process. What is it worth to make better decisions, make it faster, and understand the risk elements that drives it? What is it worth to have competitive advantage? For many of us....priceless!
