This book starts off by trying to persuade the reader as to why they should perhaps give up thinking about doing an MBA before they start! At first this may seem to go against the whole purpose of the book but in fact it is a very honest appraisal of the commitment needed for an MBA course.
Once the reader has worked through this, and has decided that an MBA is still the thing to do, then the book is packed full of useful tips and guidelines on how to get the most from the course. It covers issues such as time management, reading skills, report writing, approaches to assignments, numeracy skills, and how to get the best from case studies.
This book is an essential companion to an MBA course, and one which any MBA student should have. Indeed, it is a core course text on some MBA programmes.

Adequate book
6 Aug 2000
This book is targeted at people considering an MBA and those already preparing for and starting their courses. It addresses the necessary basic competencies required for surviving the hectic datelines and complexities - which includes areas of time management, verbal/written communication, personality profile & group dynamics, study skills/techniques, dealing with case studies and numbers, handling assessments, exams & report writing, and career planning.
Most of the stuff is "standard" stuff and can be applied not only to people who are taking an MBA. Overall, this can be a good starting point for people who have been out of touch with "going back to school" and need a refresher.
