.Finkler et al: Financial Management for Public, Health, and Not-for-Profit Organizations4th EditionThis was the book assigned to me for my class specifically for Nonprofit Financial Management as I pursue my MBA specifically for Nonprofit management.As textbooks go, it is serviceable. The writing is clean and clear, and is easily understandable for someone that has some background in accounting. I am the Director of Finance at a nonprofit, and I was able to pick up a number of useful things from this, though a lot of it was review.A couple of things bothered me a bit. There is a chapter about the time value of money (here it is chapter five). The book teaches the student how to approach the problems from a point where the unknowns are plugged into excel. This may just be me being old fashioned, but to me it skipped a step in being overly reliant on technology instead of going back one step and showing the derivation and making the student go through the motions to get an understanding of where excel is coming from. It’s not that it isn’t there - for example the derivation of finding the value of the annuity is footnoted, in small print. Again, a small concern, but one nevertheless.A second thing is to look at the cost. Due to a mix up with the professor’s syllabus, I had first bought the third edition of this book, before being told that the fourth edition was the only acceptable one. The problem is that at the time, the third edition was less than half the price of the fourth edition. The kicker was I ended up with both of the editions side by side, and looking at the first three chapters I noticed no discernible difference. This may not be true in later chapters as I didn’t make the comparison. If you are assigning the text, have a look at the third edition for the student’s sake.
The book is very helpful and would be of great avail to anyone interested in learning practical tools of public and nonprofit financial management. However, after conducting the cost-benefit analysis I can't see how this book can be worth $200 (!!!), its an outright rip off. Pages are easily soiled and sticky, binding is really weak (after 1 day use I can see first page is already unglued). The authors did a great job improving this edition, but can't say the same about the publisher. This $200 book is not gona last long, I feel ripped off.
This is a valuable textbook. If you are considering buying the older version they are very similar. EXCEPT the problems at the back of each chapter are very different. 4 star because the book is too expensive.
We are using this book in our graduate level Financial Management class. I couldn't be more pleased with it. It is clear, concise, and has a great flow. The questions in the back are helpful for me when I am studying for my midterm.
The book is not sewn. It is glued. Within a few days of using the book, the glue came apart at the title page. For the cost, it should be better-made. I do not like to say "hate" so I picked the two-star selection but the publisher should do a better job of securing a hard-cover book that costs a lot of money! Someone in my class bought the book from the bookstore and it was a sewn version, so I know they exist. Frustrating!
Great price and easy shipping. Complicated subject but no fault of the seller.
Just received this book and discovered that the binding is in terrible shape. The book is practically falling apart. Seeing as how I paid $150 for it I feel ripped off.
It was exactly what I needed
