Rating: Summary: By far the best RO book around Review: Trigeorgis provides a rigorous treatment of the concepts that are required to facilitate understanding of RO. In fact, a section in Chapter 2 can serve as a reference for a half-semester course in corporate financial theory. Amram's book is a disappointment. Copeland's book is a good alternative for those that seek a readable introductory RO book. However, the edition that I got had numerous errors (check the book's website for corrections). Once you familiarize yourself with the concepts, upgrade yourself to the level of Trigeorgis.
Rating: Summary: best option book so far Review: Unlike many other books about options, this one talks a lot about the practical qualitative implications of the options approach (and compares options to other decision tools such as decision trees). These sections are highly valuable. Like the other books on the subject, though, the bits with maths in will be incomprehensible to the general manager. There is still room for a book less concerned with precise analysis that is theoretically correct and more concerned with practical real world problem solving. Trigeorgis doesn't get there, but comes closer than most.
