As a non-financial manager that had only learned the financial aspects of management "by osmosis" (as the authors say), I've felt this book closed several gaps of financial knowledge, with excellent to-the-point explanations, always backed up with realistic cases. I feel much more confident to make some decisions now, and to defend my points against my CFO (and know when to agree with his). I strongly recommend that book to every manager without an academic background in finance.
