 Great help for Valuation of Companies, very didactic July 1, 2010
Rodney Steinsapir (Chile)
I needed to know how to valuate companies, and this book really explains detail by detail how to do it.

I was hoping the workbook would have more practice exercises revloving around the manipulation of financial statements. Instead, it was heavily multiple choice and short answer questions. Not exactly helpful for someone trying to learn by practice instead of information memorization.
 Excellent Companion! January 8, 2001

This workbook is a great companion to the bestselling Valuation book by McKinsey. A well organized resource that includes exercises and Q&A. The basic principle allows you to self-test your information and knowledge base. Understanding the valuation process can be challenging at times. This workbook is a great tool to help guide you through the process. I also use it as a quick reference problem solver.

I had given 5 stars to "Valuation," but I feel that this workbook is practically useless for its price. The problems in this book are not very challenging; they merely require echoed answers instead of questions providing in-depth analysis. Common questions include: "Name three issues in valuating X company" or "Name three reasons why X is preferred over B." These are simple questions one could easily answer by taking copious notes. I had expected much more challenging questions from the workbook, but I was sorely disappointed. My advice: Buy "Valuation" but avoid buying this book.
