TERRIBLE BOOK 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Unless you have prior knowledge of currency trading or the international finance world you won't understand a damn thing after the 5th or 6th chapter. The author goes in depth about these complex theories and mathematical equations that can be exceptionally difficult to follow ESPECIALLY if you are NEW to the subject.

This book is terrible period, I would recommend if you take International Finance (class), to buy a book (dummies guide er something) to go along with this to make it a little easier to understand. I don't know who this guy is trying to impress but I was throughly pissed off that I paid over a hundred bucks for this USELESS book. The author teaches it way over everybody's head.....

Editorial Review:

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, 6e combines a strong foundation in international finance theory with current, practical applications. It provides thorough, up-to-date treatment of cutting-edge international finance issues along with traditional treatment of international financial management. This book is known for its readability and clear explanation as well as its extensive use of hands-on, real world applications and student-oriented pedagogy.

Step-by-step guide from the master 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 15 people found this review helpful.

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.

Editorial Review:

The overriding objective of Eun and Resnick's International Financial Management, 3e is to teach students how to be effective global financial managers. The text covers the fundamentals of the macroeconomic environment of international financial management, discusses the financial environment in which the multinational firm and its managers must function, and covers foreign exchange management and financial management in a multinational firm.

Good, yet not good enough. 2 out of 5 stars.
14 of 15 people found this review helpful.

This book gives plenty of background into international finance. Unfortunately, it has some big flaws, in my opinion. First, there are not enough calculation examples. Second, there are too few questions at the end of each chapter. In addition, you must go to the author's website for the solution. Once you get there, you will be surprised to find out that the author has only solved maybe two out of eight problems. That's annoying. I do not recommend this book. Take a class from another professor who uses a different text book.

Editorial Review:

The Ninth Edition of this market leader communicates the complexities of international finance clearly and authoritatively. The book features a streamlined presentation, expanded attention to emerging markets, several new chapters, and four new decision cases with an emerging-markets focus. An accompanying new Casebook by Michael Moffett includes in-depth decision cases keyed to the coverage in the Eiteman text. The authors have a knack for communicating the complexities of international finance to today's students in a manner that is clear and understandable. For anyone interested in business.

Two thumbs up both for MBAs and Ph.Ds 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

It was quite difficult to find a good book on international financial markets/managements. Since it inevitably involves the concepts such as forward/swap, exchange rate risks, interest parity, balance of payments, and so on, a good book needs to have some rigor in clearly explaining important concepts (a good intro for Ph.Ds) and to contain good introduction to how international financial markets work in reality (wonderful reference for MBAs).

I had an opportunity to read an earlier draft of this book when I took International finance course a few years ago taught by Professor Hodrick himself. The draft did a superb job in explaining the theories and international financial markets at the same time. I'm really glad this has been finally published so that other people outside his classrooms have access to these materials. I got hold of this book today and it seems it's been more polished than the draft I had.

I wish the solution manual could come out together, but I heard it's on the way.

Editorial Review:

Bekaert/Hodrick equips future business leaders with the analytical tools they need to make sound financial decisions in the face of a competitive global environment.

  Exploration of international financial markets, sources of risks and how they can be managed, and coverage of institutional aspects of financial markets.

  For global business leaders who would like to learn about the latest international financial trends in order to make sound international financial decisions and to manage the myriad of risks that their businesses face in a competitive global environment.

Editorial Review:

Make informed decisions in today's dynamic international business environments
International accounting has never been so exciting. Not only is the pace of international business, finance, and investment rapidly increasing, but we are also moving closer than ever before toward a convergence of accounting standards worldwide.

Updated and revised to keep pace with these changes, this Sixth Edition of Radebaugh, Gray, and Black's International Accounting and Multinational Enterprises focuses on international business strategies and how accounting applies to these strategies. You'll learn how to use financial and accounting information across borders, and make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex international business environment. The authors also explain the key factors, including cultural differences, that influence accounting standards and practices in different countries, and how those factors impact the harmonization of standards worldwide.

New to This Edition:
* New coauthor, Ervin L. Black of Brigham Young University.
* Updated coverage on corporate governance, Sarbanes-Oxley, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), and how these forces affect U.S.-based multinationals, as well as companies in other countries.
* Increased coverage of the efforts of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to establish a uniform set of International Financial Reporting Standards (IRFS) worldwide and its interface with different national standard setters, especially the FASB. Special attention is given to the experience of the European Union and Australia in adopting IFRS in 2005.
* A web-based International Accounting Practice Problem, which helps students see how to apply IFRS to a set of transactions.
* Brief, user-oriented examples called Strategic Decision Points at the beginning of each chapter.
* Expanded end-of-chapter material, including more discussion questions and exercises.
* New cases (two per chapter) on the web.
* Accounting for foreign exchange is now covered in two chapters. One chapter focuses on accounting issues, and the other chapter, which is new, focuses on foreign exchange risk management.

Editorial Review:

In Global Finance at Risk, two acclaimed economists propose a bold and necessary solution to the financial crises that threaten us all: a World Financial Authority with powers to establish best-practice financial regulation and risk management everywhere. The expansion of finance in industrialized economies, including nineteenth-century Britain and the United States, saw exactly the same kind of turbulence now afflicting Asia, Russia and Latin America. Then, the solution was to establish national banking and securities regulators, deposit insurance and lenders of last resort. But in our increasingly globalized world, the savings account you open at your local bank can be based on bad debt from anywhere in the world, including places outside the jurisdiction of those national agencies. And when banks fail, it is not just their account-holders who suffer, but all of us. This is why, argue John Eatwell and Lance Taylor in this timely and urgent book, effective regulation of the international financial system is crucial for the economic health of all nations. Global Finance at Risk presents a compelling case for the international regulation of world financial systems. Written in a clear and accessible style and addressing one of the most critical issues in the world today, this is a book which deserves to be widely read and discussed.
