solid, helpful, a little dry, 2008-06-14
Very good, solid information. Future editions featuring more updated graphics and color would really enhance understanding. Text is also quite dry, but not annoyingly so.
Great summary for non-MBA's.

Excellent book, 2008-03-09
This is a great book for entry level knowledge. It can easily become the bible of any entrepreneur and business person (or wannabe).

The same information you'd find elsewhere, but with a condescending attitude, 2007-12-26
As an engineer who's recently been introduced to the management world (and who was, at the time, weighing an engineering master's degree vs. an MBA), I thought this book would both be a good intro to business concepts and a preview of what I might expect if I went to B-school.

Reading this book has made my decision simple. I'll be getting my master of science and staying away from MBA programs (at least for now).

A few things I learned from this book:
1. MBAs are extremely smart, smarter than everyone else.
2. MBAs who attended "Top Ten" programs, like the author, are even smarter.
3. Based on #1 and #2, all other occupations are lesser and therefore subservient to MBAs.
4. MBAs only need a cursory understanding of business concepts. Actually knowing the details of business concepts is a task for those mentioned in #3.

This book is quite general, as I expected, but the writer's condescending style does not make for a good read and interferes with the transmission of good information.

I would recommend the prospective reader look to other sources for an introduction to the MBA curriculum, hopefully without the off-putting pompousity endemic in the author's prose.
