Product Description
The main objective of this text is to teach students how to be effective global financial managers. Part one presents the fundamentals of the macroeconomic environment of international financial management, part two moves on to discuss the financial environment in which the multinational firm and its managers must function and parts three and four cover foreign exchange management and financial management in a multinational firm. The text adopts a modular approach for teaching flexibility and advanced or more rigorous topics can be skipped without loss of continuity. International finance in practice boxes from the popular press and actual companies show how the concepts being discussed are used in the real world and learning aids include numerical examples, end-of-chapter questions and problems and mini cases.

Without doubt, the WORST textbook I've ever encountered

I've just completed a masters level subject in international finance at a top 20 university (in the world) where this "good for nothing but toilet paper" book was the prescribed text.
I have never encountered a textbook that fails so spectacularly at what it's supposed to do - help the reader learn.
Difficult topics become impossible and simple topics are made quite difficult.
My whole class saved itself a LOT of angst by deciding early on in the course to stop reading it. Immediately, our understanding of the subject improved.
My advice? If this is prescribed, save yourself money and pain - don't buy it - you'll actually be better off.

The most disgusting textbook I ever read!

This is the most disgusting book I have ever read.
This not actually a textbook, but a bunch of statistical data. Authors even do not try to teach you, what they try is to make you familiar with techniques and tools used in the world. Yes, they do provide you with some simple examples, but do not teach you how to apply. They try to be concise, instead of being concise, they just ommit a lot of information and provide book references for you to search on your own.
If you want to get familiar with the most modern financial tools, you can buy it, but if your goal is to learn, get a profound understanding of concepts, train yourself, then look for another option.
The authors, from my point of view, just scholars, who do know a lot, but unfortunately, cannot teach and explain.
The book lacks exercises. There are some, but do not pretend to master swaps or hedging doing them. Book is just a statistical summary on current situation in financial markets, some theories, which of little value for a real job and that is all.
Do not pay for it, unless you are Warren Buffet. :))

The approach this book has on the International Finance topic is good. Some chapters have more theory than others which might be confusing for someone without a business background. However, the examples provided are excellent.

Wow...This book was boring and confusing. I got it for my international finance class and it is just really hard to follow. It was a waste of money.

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.
