- Boston Harvard Business School Press 2006
- xiv, 257p.
Presents the essentials of finance with an extra dimension. Shows where the numbers come from since nobody can quantify everything, accountants and finance executives always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls, which can skew the numbers in one direction or another. Helps you recognize and understand those biases, challenge or correct for them when necessary, and use this information to be a better manager.
