The 10-Day MBA
Rating: **** (Mediocre)
Review:
If you have an MBA: OK, otherwise: skip it!
I bought this book before I embarked on my MBA. I tried and tried to make sense of it, no luck (I may be imbecille, but I don't think so). It manages to skip over introductary materials, fails to explains the importance of different topics, have a focus on accounting and is in my opinion extremely boring to read.
After having re-read it recently, I believe it is an excellent refresher for many MBA topics and refreshingly witty, but as a starter book: no. As to living up to its title: get real, this wont accomplish you getting nearer an MBA or even getting the hang of the jargon. Buy Gorman's CIGt MBA Basics if you need to learn some jargon.
