What are the books IIM A, B, and C follow for finance, marketing,?

I will go beyond the scope of the question by addressing other courses, as well as the teaching style because I think it will help address the question better. The IIM Ahmedabad teaching method is the case pedagogy. The method has case discussions in class, supplemented by books as well as readings from various reputed journals, books and online articles. We are given case packs, that combine the cases with the required readings. Most often, these readings are certain chapters from a book, which eliminates the necessity of a book. The case pack is generally self sufficient, so it is rare that we will be given an entire book to read. The books are given additional to the case pack, with suggested readings from within the book. Everyone is aware of exactly what will be taught on what day, so preparation and participation in the class becomes more meaningful. I will talk about the broad areas, and how much they are driven by cases vs. readings/books. For the various areas i.e. economics, marketing, operations, finance and strategy the books that we follow are: EconomicsThe courses are entirely theory driven Economics : Paul Samuelson Macroeconomics : Errol D Souza Microeconomics : Paul Krugman Principles of Macroeconomics : Gregory MankiwFinance and AccountingThe courses are largely driven by books and less by cases Accounting : Anthony Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis : Horngren Investments : Bodie, Kane and Marcus Investment Valuation : Aswath Damodaran Options, Futures and Derivatives : Hull Principles of Corporate Finance : Brealey, Myers, Allen Trading and Exchanges : HaarisMarketing and Business ResearchThe courses are largely driven by cases and less by books Business Research Methods : Cooper and Schindler Principles of Marketing : Philip KotlerOperations ManagementThe courses are largely driven by cases and less by books Operations Management : StevensonStrategyThe courses are driven equally by cases and books Competitive Strategy : Porter HBR's 10 Must Reads : On Strategy Competing for the Future : Hamel, PrahaladOthers A First Course in Probability : Sheldon Ross Human Resource Management : Dressler Legal Aspects Of Business : Akhil Pathak The picture below is me with my books and case mats (the spiral bound books) for the first year. It's a tradition for "surviving the first year", posing with your books like arm candy. For once I partook in it. I also pretend like I read those. Maybe I did. One can never know. But, I can surely say I learnt a lot, at least in theory (did you see the pun?).PS : This took quite a while to compose because of linking. I will add more books as they come to memory! I also bear no affiliation to Amazon, it was the only site giving me relevant links for all the books. Thanks for the A2A Dhritiman
