The Disney Way, Revised Edition24 reviews
Bill Capodagli, Lynn Jackson

McGraw-Hill, 2006

Dream, Believe, Dare, Do!!
Those four simple words are at the root of the Disney business philosophy, established by Walt himself and carried on by Michael Eisner. I found this book to be both entertaining and informative. The business principles outlined by Capodagli and Jackson seem like simple, common sense - but bear repeating numerous times until more businesses adopt them. Principles like encouraging innovation and ... 		  
  







  
  
The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America, Second Edition6 reviews
Warren E. Buffett

The Cunningham Group, 2008

Topical and timely additions
Without a doubt, The Essays of Warren Buffett : Lessons for Corporate America was a definitive and clear insight into the mind of a genius - just see my review for this first edition. The Second Edition, however, adds another dimension reflective of today's business and investing environment. Specifically: Corporate Governance - addition of "Audit Committees" section. As usual, a frank ... 		  
  







  
  
Financial Management: Theory & Practice (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition 1-Year Printed Access ...13 reviews
Eugene F. Brigham, Michael C. Ehrhardt

South-Western College Pub, 2007

Amazing book and Fantastic Shipping, Amazon!
This book is simply amazing, very easy to follow and learn. It explains basic concepts, and has some useful material - in the book as well as online - that will help you. I frankly didn't even need the study guide; I thought the book by itself was great for me. The authors have taken a lot of trouble with detailing and giving examples, for someone new to finance to pick up on. There are chapters ... 		  
  







  
  
Liar's Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street222 reviews

Norton, 1995

A warning for the uninitiated
This book should be required reading for all wanna be I-bankers. The author very convincingly describes the inner workings of a major financial institution. From the outside, the public only sees the expensive suits and tall glass buildings and are suitably impressed by the knowledge and skills of those who works inside. But the author takes us behind the doors to show frighteningly how the ... 		  
  







  
  
Fundamentals of Contemporary Financial Management (with Thomson ONE, Business School Edition)4 reviews
R. Charles Moyer, James R. McGuigan, ...

South-Western College Pub, 2006

Much ado about nothing
The concepts in this book are fantastic. For a general read, the book is fine and will leave you "feeling like" you learned a tremendous amount. HOWEVER, if you are using this book for a class -- give it up. The exercises at the end of each chapter will leave you feeling lost, confused, and ignorant. These feelings will quickly turn into anger. You must read EVERY WORD of the text VERY CAREFULLY ...

Walt Disney's Imagineering Legends and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park7 reviews
Jeff Kurtti

Disney Editions, 2007

Excellent resource all in one place
I have always been a huge Disneyland fan, but only begun delving into the history for the past 2 years, so I would consider myself somewhat of a newbie amongst the die-hards. This book's strength is its encyclopedic all-in-one format (although as Lannie's excellent review points out, there are a few glaring omissions such as Alice Davis), the wonderful photos/illustrations (many are new to me, ...

The No Asshole Rule114 reviews

Business Plus, 2007

A great book ... why you do not want jerks on your team
It is inevitable that we all have to deal with jerks at the workplace or on your team. Sutton does an excellent job of pointing out the consequences of having these individuals in your organization. He also gives you the tools to handle these jerks. As a team manager, I needed to recognize the ripple effect and toxic implications that one of these egomaniacs was having upon my team. I had ... 		  
  







  
  
Strategic Thinking: A Step-By-Step Approach to Strategy, Second Edition4 reviews
Simon Wootton, Terry Horne

Kogan Page, 2002

A handy, no-frills guide to kick-start your planning!
Of so many business planning books, which I hold in high regard, this one is the simplest to read and follow, and yet still packed with useful tools and powerful tips. To some extent, I would consider it to be a no-frills, straight-to-the-point, hands-on kind of planning book. In a nut shell, it provides a step by step approach, with a total of 9 steps, and involves 3 critical stages: gathering ... 		  
  







  
  
Fundamentals of Financial Management, Concise Edition (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition)8 reviews
Eugene F. Brigham, Joel F. Houston

South-Western College Pub, 2006

Excellent textbook for gaining an understanding of Finance
This text book is an excellent resource for understanding Financial Management. It was a required text in my MBA program and the book is easy to go through on your own. There are exercises, or self tests, at the end of each section in the chapters, as well as many types of problems and self test questions at the end of the chapters. We had a mediocre teacher in my MBA program, so going ...

Corporate Financial Distress and Bankruptcy: Predict and Avoid Bankruptcy, Analyze and Invest in Distressed ...2 reviews
Edward I. Altman, Edith Hotchkiss

Wiley, 2005

More relevant than you think.
Most people in the investing world don't read this book. But they should. It's a textbook so not something to breeze through at the beach. However, the techniques described in the book are very applicable to any company, not just those in disress or bankruptcy. In fact I did some work on EMC many years ago when they *appeared* to be growing rapidly but in reality they were getting into ... 		  
  







  
  
Fundamentals of Corporate Finance Standard Edition5 reviews
Stephen Ross, Randolph Westerfield, ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007

Excellent textbook
This text is for intermediate level business and finance students, and is very informative and well written. I read it two times with great pleasure. It is not boring, even for those outside the field (I must admit I did not work the problems though!). I highly recommend it.

Earned Value Project Management, 3rd Edition18 reviews
Quentin W. Fleming, Joel M. Koppelman

Project Management Institute, 2006

Earned Value Simplified
I wish I had had this book much earlier in my project management career! The authors of this book are able to bring the esoteric aspects of Earned Value to the masses. Reading this text is easy - not like a reading text book - and the authors provide (somewhat) "real life" case studies to back up their examples. One author claims to be an expert in Earned Value, and I believe it after reading ... 		  
  







  
  
Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba6 reviews

VIKING ADULT, 2008

Exceptional Book
I am Cuban-born, and have throughly enjoyed this book and am buying copies to send to all my children, one of which is NPR's Baghdad Bureau Chief. It is historically accurate, very well written, and portrays Cuba and the Bacardi family with knowledge and understanding. It is truly a brilliant achievement and recommend anyone who is interested in Cuba to read it. 		  
  







  
  
The Bond Book: Everything Investors Need to Know About Treasuries, Municipals, GNMAs, Corporates, Zeros, Bond ...23 reviews
Annette Thau

McGraw-Hill, 2000

Primer on Fixed Income Products
Am nearly finished reading the 2nd printing of this excellent tutorial. Although I have been an avid buyer & seller of fixed income products for many years, the author did a superb job of furthering my mid-level expertise especially in the area of municipal bonds. Her plain language explanations were most welcome as opposed to the plethora of financial techno-babble tomes that share the ...
