This book was found to be difficult to use by myself and other students in my MBA program. We are currently looking for an easier-to-understand book that is advanced enough for an MBA program. Our accompanying Schleifer/Bell book appears to be much easier to understand, although it doesn't cover all of the same topics.However, I don't regret buying this book...I typically buy the textbooks for my classes, especially if I can get them for a reasonable price.
