Product Description
International Financial Management is written based on two distinct parts: emphasis on the basics and emphasis on a managerial perspective. The emphasis on the basics will allow students to be left with a framework for analysis that will serve them well when they need to apply this material in their careers in the years ahead. The Fifth Edition never loses sight of the presentation that is teaching students how to make managerial decisions. The new edition is founded in the belief that the fundamental job of the financial manager is to maximize share-holder wealth. This belief permeates the decision-making process that is presented from cover to cover. International Financial Management has been completely updated with the most current data tables and statistics in the field today.

 Without doubt, the WORST textbook I've ever encountered June 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've just completed a masters level subject in international finance at a top 20 university (in the world) where this "good for nothing but toilet paper" book was the prescribed text.br /br /I have never encountered a textbook that fails so spectacularly at what it's supposed to do - help the reader learn.br /br /Difficult topics become impossible and simple topics are made quite difficult.br /br /My whole class saved itself a LOT of angst by deciding early on in the course to stop reading it. Immediately, our understanding of the subject improved.br /br /My advice? If this is prescribed, save yourself money and pain - don't buy it - you'll actually be better off.
The most disgusting textbook I ever read! December 12, 2006
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is the most disgusting book I have ever read.br /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.br /br /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.br /br /The authors, from my point of view, just scholars, who do know a lot, but unfortunately, cannot teach and explain.br /br /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.br /br /Do not pay for it, unless you are Warren Buffet. :))br /

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.

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.

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.
