Summary: Great business resource - One of the best!
Review: I suspect that trying to jam everything you ever wanted to know about business but were afraid to ask is a difficult task, even when you've been given 400 or so pages to complete your task. One thing I know for sure, the authors of The Complete MBA for Dummies have done a far better job completing this task than any other business book I've ever read (and I've read a LOT of business books!). Kathleen Allen and Peter Economy really know their stuff, and it shows loud and clear on every page of this extremely well-written and comprehensive book. While the tone is humorous (fun, actually), it never veers onto the thin ice of sillyness that plagues other books of this type.If it's covered in a typical MBA program, you'll find the topic you're looking for here: dealing with change, information technology, global business, strategic planning, management, leadership, motivating employees, recruiting and retaining high quality employees, building teams, accounting, finance, marketing, negotiation and much, much more. Lots more interesting (and up to date) than any textbook you'd ever buy in an MBA program, and far less cost. This book packs a heck of a bang for the 16 or 17 bucks you'll pay to buy it. Highly recommended.

Summary: Agree with other about being over-rated
Review: This Book is overly rated with 5 stars. So far, I have read the 10-day MBA, this book and the Idiot equivalent. I read these introductory books because of my job and before going into more advance books. I have found this book less useful than the ten-day MBA and the Idiot equivalent. Moreover, I believed that some of the chapters are long-winded. I will only give it 3 stars.
