BOOK REVIEWS
The Definitive Guide to Project Management: Sebastian

Review by Dr. P V Raghavan
The framework presented in this book is based on fundamental
principles that apply to all projects in all industries.
The authors have covered many knowledge areas such as
project integration, scope, management processes, quality
management, communication, people management and other
integrated areas. The book also provides an interesting
insight into how the project time and cost management
are being done as for as small, medium and large-scale
projects are concerned.
Mastering Derivatives Markets: Francesca Taylor et.al:
Pearson Power Dorling Kindersley (India) Private Limited.
Review by Prof. CA N Venkateswaran
The whole book has been divided into chapters, which are
demarcated in a way most beneficial to the readers. Separate
chapters are allocated to each type of products, namely,
derivatives of interest rate risk, credit risk, currency
risks, equity risks, and finally commodity risks. Within
each chapter the discussion is elaborated under specific
classifications, namely, introduction, definition, key
features, special features, terminology, examples, charts,
graphs, tables, and most importantly practical considerations.
This makes the reading interesting and will be useful
as handbook to every teacher and the taught.
The Definitive Business plan: Richard Stutely: Pearson
Power Dorling Kindersley (India) Private Limited

Most of the management aspects essential to run a business

the financial strategies and plans are all covered in
the book. The book would find useful applications for
the large segment of people involved in business right
from students, professors and business executives.
