Summary: Excellent introduction to an MBA's thought process
Review: Coming from a technical background and techie work environment, and finaly moving on to a marketing role. I realised I needed to know about the business aspects of the company, and found this book a single source of what a Business Manager would require. The language is easy to understands with lots of practical examples and real-life experiences. But what I value most about this book was it actually prepared me to take up the challenge to pursue my MBA

It is also an excellent gift for those who are considering joining a business school. It may help you decide if Business school is meant for you!!Thanks to the authors -- simple yet great idea!! It is like getting hold of precious class notes from a top scholar who just graduated :-)

Summary: The best MBA book I have read of seven over 20 years.
Review: Excellent. Steven Silbiger summarizes the MBA program and skills taught in a clear, concise, complete, organized and well-written manner. In key areas, he provides worked-out (often simple) examples, not just anecdotal ones, to ensure that you learn the key skills and can to apply them later from an MBA's prospective. He laughs at the jargon and peels off the MBA myth. While he makes a few good-natured pokes at fellow CPAs, the not-so-hidden message is that accounting is important. You better follow up here and with computer spreadsheet skills. His CPA background gave him the insight to write this book in its format. He has written with wit.

Summary: The best business book I've ever read!
Review: I highly recommend "The Ten-Day MBA". It contains a wealth of valuable business information presented in a very easy-to-understand manner. I've successfully utilized many of the ideas; and the book has given me greater insight into many areas of business that I was previously not very familiar with. Unlike many other business books, it is also very entertaining, contains great examples, is easy to read-----and is a lot cheaper than two years of graduate school!

Summary: A concise, but thorough discussion of major MBA topics.
Review: If you are looking to gain a perspective on ideals taught in major MBA schools across the nation, you would benefit from reading this book. I am a senior finance major at the University of Texas at Austin, and I have found the readings informative and refreshing. I have given a copy to several fellow employees that have had no formal business education and they have commented on how enlightening it has been.

Summary: Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk
Review: The book delivers MBA knowledge like Cliff Notes delivers the
Classics of literarure. It's easy to read and it is filled with examples and a few cartoons so that you can use the book. It is like going to a top ten MBA
school. In the book are the actual notes that I and other students from other top schools took in class. I heard Wharton students actually use the book to study for exams. Non-MBAs use it to gain that MBA edge without the time and money. If you are going to get your MBA this will be a great head
start. The book has been very successful in the US and overseas, translated in 8 languages. I often hear from readers and it's fun to learn that they are putting the Ten-Day MBA to good use

Summary: Good Overview of MBA Concepts, Ltd.
Review: I bought this book as kind of a "Business Speak for for the Computer Geek" self-study course. It's worthwhile from that standpoint, well written, and probably about as entertaining as such a book can be. But it is limited.
That's not saying anything about the tome's quality, though. There is a limited amount to what you can learn from any single book, and Silbiger's book is no exception. Generally, there is only one example given to explain every concept, and for some concepts, that's not enough.
For instance, I came away from his explanation of double-entry bookkeeping totally baffled, and had to go to the web for help. You also won't get the repetition, practical exercises, interaction with classmates and teachers, and pacing that you'd find in a real classroom.
"The Ten-Day MBA" won't replace two years in B-school. But it's useful if you want to learn the lingo, and if you know enough to know what you don't know (and are persistent enough to seek the explanations from other sources.)
