Summary: Excellent primer for business school
Review: This book represents an excellent supplement to an MBA Program and covers many of the key topics addressed at the graduate level in business schools across the United States. The structure and organization of the book are well suited to MBA Programs that stress an 'integrated' curriculum in which many topics and subjects are covered in tandem.The concepts covered in this book are quite useful outside of an MBA Program as well, and should prove useful to anyone engaged in the affairs of business.

Summary: Nice overview
Review: I was thinking about applying for an American MBA course, and picked up this book since it seemed to be aimed as an overview of the standard course material. It reads like my old college revision notes, and is probably not much use as a standalone book. It is great at what it does though - and I'd definitely recommend to anyone considering taking an MBA as a good way to get a flavour of the course and topics covered.

Summary: The right picture
Review: This is a very good book I read before I started my MBA program. However it will not replace books on specific subject or an MBA education
Rating:
Summary: Excellent overview/reference book
Review: This is a great overview of MBA topics for those work with MBAs, or are thinking of grabbing an MBA degree in the future. After a read, it also serves as a good reference for many key concepts. However, topics are not given in lots of detail, so if you need to learn more about a particular area, be prepared to do additional reading elsewhere.

Summary: Perfect Primer
Review: I just started an MBA program. This book was the perfect primer for my courses.
Rating:
Summary: Good cost-benefit ratio
Review: Do not expect this book to be a Ten day MBA. It does very good for its value but only cites the main tools taught at MBA schools. It is very good to give you an idea of what an MBA program is all about.

Summary: Got MBA? Yes! - Get this Book. No, but planning! Get it!
Review: If you are in a business school, this book provides a bird's eye overview of many important aspects of business covered in business school. If you just finished your MBA this book is a good refresher -- easy and concise. If you are planning to get into business school -- take a look at this book and find out the stuff you'll be getting into. See if the material interests you before you actaully jump into an MBA Program. Makes a great gift to students and those who run and business but don't have an MBA. Highly recommend!

Summary: Good book for starters
Review: I think it is an excellent book. I feel that it is especially useful to me because of experience over the last 5 years in business. If you are a detail-oriented person and are looking for a step-by-step book don't buy this. If you have business ability and can improvise with the concepts and mold them around your situation you will benefit from this book. This is a great book for those not beneath starting with the fundamentals.

Summary: Great Book, Worth the Price of Admission
Review: This books gets right to the point for an impatient reader. Some topics are covered in depth, such as creating an MBA marketing plan that can be used to solve a real world need, while others that are simple, but are required MBA jargon, are given a paragraph and an short example. In the accounting chapter, a subject that I consider rather complex, was presented that so that anyone can figure out the basics. Although not a substitute for a two year education and the resume credit, it comes as close to the real thing as you will get in a book.

Summary: Waste of time.
Review: This book was poorly written, and presented most of its subjects in a cursory, unintuitive manner. The treatment of the technical subjects amounted to little more than a bulleted list of formulae. The author justified this by continually making the point that MBAs need only a high-level understanding of topics such as finance and economics, but the book does not even give the reader that. All in all, a grave disappointment for someone who wishes to learn about business.
