The 10-day MBA
£7.03
This is not an MBA BUT it is a good primer - OK all the carping and caveats to one side, NO it wont give you enough to get a MBA, YES it is US centric, and YES this was probably a MBA project for the author, IT IS STILL a good book.If you want a primer for MBA study or even just a casual skim over business functionality, it will help you, and it is a lot cheaper than a MBA!
A very good book if you wonder what MBA is all about - I recommend this book to everyone who wonders what MBA is all about. The chapters are small and not really boring. Language is excellent - it makes you feel reading forward. The book very concisely describes what are different segments taught in business schools. Before reading this book, I didn t have a clue about MBA. This books nearly answered all of my basic MBA queries.
Another book to read before you start your MBA - A fantastic primer for your MBA - a little too American for my personal taste in that examples et cetera are US companies but a really good overview of the type of topics to be covered. Get this book and go through the 10-day process and you ll already be ahead in your first lessons on an MBA - useful for revision purposes too!
very well written and excellent information - One of the best books I have read. Learnt so much and it is very well written, complex ideas are understood very easily.
- - I ll agree with K Bert to a point. However I started my MBA on the Open University a few months ago and read this book a few months before and actually found it a nice introduction.Granted it can t cover every topic in massive detail, but what it does give you is a nice framework for (what I assume to be from what I ve studied so far) an entire MBA, granted possibly one in the US. However most of it is pretty identical so far.For the price I d recommend anyone contemplating buying this book to do so, I found it very useful, well written and quite easy going.
