Book Reviews of Behavioral Corporate Finance (Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate)
Book Review: Fine book, worthless as a text
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was required for a course on Corporate Finance. The focus, however, is on the psychological aspects of corporate financial decision-making, resulting in no useful formulae or job aids. The take-away from this book is that financial managers use intuition and heuristics as much and as generally successfully as by NPV analysis which constitute the traditional approach. I would not recommend this book as a text.
Summary of Behavioral Corporate Finance (Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate)
Behavioral Corporate Finance identifies the key psychological obstacles to value maximizing behavior, along with steps that managers can take to mitigate the effects of these obstacles. The main goal of the book is to help students learn how to put the traditional tools of corporate finance to their best use, and mitigate the effects of psychological obstacles that reduce value.Corporate Finance Books
