If you're already in the workforce and thinking of updating skills and knowledge by doing a few few subjects at a College, try this little book first. It may be all you need, and more, at a fraction of the investment in time and money. If you're a business student, this would be a great supplementary reader. Among other things, it's likely to keep your brain on the straight and practical. Happy reading.

One of the best F & A books written for general managers I have read. Detailed enough to give the reader an excellent grasp of the subject, but doesn't require calculus to understand. If you're a manager who cringes during discussions of cash flow, cost of capital, and discount rates, this book is for you. Can't wait for other titles in the series!
