.Crucial Confrontations
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler

August 26, 2004
I forgot I read this book until I saw it on my list. The teachings are memorable and I am still using them on a daily basis. I am also still giving people advice from this book. Excellent for managers and supervisors. I was making many common mistakes and this book helped put me in the right direction. It is rare for me to remember the in-depth content of books, but this one is well written and has helped me greatly.

.Financial Accounting
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Robert Libby, Patricia Libby, Daniel G Short

November 30, 2005
Be very careful of deceptive linking on this product! The record for the hardcover offers a paperback selection. After waiting over a week and a half for "Express" delivery while classes are going by, it turns out the paperback is the INTERNATIONAL EDITION . . . in PESOS, et al, rather than DOLLARS.
It's one thing to link to a different binding, but linking to a book with different content is an error on Amazon's part. Not only do we not have a usable book but I'm faced with making some sort of international return at what is expected to be the "buyer's expense."

.A Sense of Urgency
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: John Kotter

September 03, 2008
John Kotter, professor emeritus of the Harvard Business School, has just written his newest book, A Sense of Urgency. It's an excellent explication of the first tenet of Kotter's now well known 8-step change theory (From his book Leading Change):

1. Establish a sense of urgency.
2. Create a guiding coalition.
3. Develop a vision and a strategy.
4. Communicate the change vision.
5. Empower employees for broad-based action.
6. Generate short-term wins.
7. Consolidate gains and produce more change.
8. Anchor new approaches in the culture.

Kotter believes that urgency is critical to this whole process; simply put, no urgency--no change.

.Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter

April 01, 2000
This book is really the "core" of beliefs that are expressed in many of the author's books.

Where this book excels is getting people out "employee" or "self employed" mentality and thinking in a "business owner" or "investor" mentality. After I read this book I really started looking at my co-workers in a strange way and decided I needed a change.

Kiyosaki recommends investing in assets that create a positive cash flow immediately. Easier said than done, but the author admits it's not easy -to get rich!

Since I've read this book, I've left the "employee" and "self-employed" mentality behind and have really focused on business owner mentality. Although my personal "cash flow" initially dropped in the process, ... Read More:

.Foundations of Finance: The Logic and Practice of Financial Management (6th Edition) (MyFinanceLab Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Art J Keown, John D Martin, John W Petty, David F Scott

June 21, 2007
I am a junior finance faculty. After instructing economics courses for several years it was the first time I'd be teaching finance. I've been using this book for almost 2 months now. It is clear and very well organized.

The first 4 chapters elaborates on how to read the financial statements of a firm. The chapters that follow discuss the valuation of financial securities. The appendix is very concise since it focuses on how to use a financial calculator, which is a must for a financial manager. The remaining chapters of the book focus on various topics like investment and capital budgeting decisions as well as dividend policy of a firm.

I highly recommend this book as a primary text for undergraduate finance courses.

.Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies, Fourth Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: McKinsey & Company Inc., Tim Koller, Marc Goedhart, David Wessels

June 08, 2005
The workbook force you to look at the information you received from "Valuation" from different perspective and you will recognize what you missed or misunderstood. Also, application of "Valuation" concepts in a controlled environment will make you confident that you are applying "Valation" correctly/appropriately in the real life. This is important since the matter being discussed is directly related to money!
