Finance β¦ Penny’s Take
Survey Research in Corporate Finance
H. Kent Baker Β· 2011
72/100
π Worth It
The first book to tackle survey methodology specifically within corporate finance, published by Oxford University Press in the FMA's peer-reviewed series, written by one of the field's most prolific scholars β that combination of credentials signals genuine gap-filling work rather than padding. It's a narrow specialist reference that will mean nothing to general readers, but for graduate students and finance researchers it's a legitimate tool.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
