Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Entrepreneur's Guide to Finance and Business
Steven Rogers · 2003
72/100
👍 Worth It
Steven Rogers brings genuine credibility here — he has owned businesses and taught at Kellogg and Harvard Business School, and the book shows it. The integration of financial tools with strategy and marketing is genuinely useful, even if the 2003 publication date means some figures and examples need to be checked against current conditions. For aspiring entrepreneurs or MBA students who want a rigorous but readable foundation, this still holds up as a solid starting point.
