The 30 Day MBA: Your Fast Track Guide to Business Success Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You will not learn anything. What did you really expect from a book that tells you, you can learn MBA skills in 30 days within 270 pages? I bought into the title.
The book is basically a syllabus. If you want a table of contents of what MBA students learn, without learning anything then buy this book.
Even If you are just curious, what I suggest is to look online at a good college's MBA syllabus, find out what text books are required, rent those text books or reference Wikepedia on the subject and you will learn more from that than from this book.
Every single case study and website mentioned is British. This means the book mentions companies I have never heard of and fails to give background information on the company = missing valuable information.
The verbiage is entirely British, so the terms used in American Business schools are wholly absent in this book.
