This book is a great reference source. Courses are taught in an MBA program in a way that feels like you are trying to drink from a fire hydrant. There is so much information thrown at you that retention is at a minimum. You do not need an MBA to read or understand this book. Written for a broad audience with differing academic backgrounds.It was a great quick overview of MBA studies. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to get closer to understanding how business works.
