Product Description
Review
"Ever wish you had a crib sheet for those business tomes you haven't got around to reading, or a quick way to match famous business thinkers with their theories?... Business: The Ultimate Resource is both of those and more."
Product Description
The "Business Bible" that captured the imaginations and fueled the ambitions of readers from the boardroom to the mailroom has now been completely revised and updated to reflect the state of the business world today. This one-ofa- kind reference guide offers readers a portable M. B. A. between two covers without the expense of tuition, the trouble of entrance exams, or the struggle of making it to classes on time. As business is arguably the most potent force in society today--CEOs wield more power and influence than political leaders, trade of goods and services spreads cultural values around the globe, even the rules of commerce increasingly govern the administration of our educational, nonprofit, and social institutions--it is more important than ever that professionals from all walks of life understand its language and its theories. Business: The Ultimate Resource captures the state of the art in business today, and the extensive revisions and additions make this second editionthe undisputed reference for anyone in the field. The additional material includes 30 new articles from authors such as Michael E. Gerber, Howard Rheingold, and Francis Fukuyama; the Management Library is 40 percent new with 39 articles, including "The Tipping Point" and "Barbarians at the Gate. " Moreover, everything else--from the Actionlists to the Dictionary-is fully updated to reflect the latest in business knowledge. Business is the gold standard of insight and information for executives and managers, entrepreneurs, administrators, educators, and students alike.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for a friend who has a degree in Economics and is now grappling with the world of business as a freelance consultant. She LOVES it! This book is a launchpad for anything and everything you ever wanted to know about business up to 2008. It offers concise articles & essays followed by links for those interested in going beyond the quick reference. Initially I was attracted by the dictionary of terms but found a wealth of information and inspiration.

Business: The Ultimate Resource
16 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book because I needed a one-stop job for reviewing important businesses and ideas. I am working on my Ph.D. in Business Administration. This book is great in that if there is a concept unknown to me I can look it up and get up to speed on the ideas. This is a huge book and well worth the price. The book also has a companion website that provides up-to-date information as PDF downloads. Buy it if you are into business, curious about business, or working on advanced degree.

Incredible Value for Money
10 Dec 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is the an incredible resource. It is over 2200 pages of small closely typed text, written by over 100 authors from both academia and business. Apart from articles it contains a Business dictionary, a world almanac and is supported by a web site that updates some of the content and contains summaries of the latest business books.
It's like a deeply discounted subscription to the Harvard Business Review.
This book is what it says it is! A great book, in terms of both content and physically.

Quite a reference
18 Jan 2008
Format:Hardcover
Lot's of stuff stuffed into the pages on this one. There are some entries that I do not agree with on a personal level. Efficient Market Theory taken as a pure 'concept' is a bit biased, as well as EBITDA being a bit 'over-used' I just make a little note on the page if the author didn't explain it's use by all groups. This book will allow any person to obtain vast knowledge if they have the patience to actually read the entire treatise. What a goal that would be!?! Great reference for the cheap price.
