Product Description

Product Description

Appropriate for MBA and other Business Master's students, before they start their studies, to help them select the right MBA course.  For all students on MBA and other Business Master's courses, to identify the skills they require throughout their course of study. The book is unique in its focus on the MBA market and the skills needed to undertake an MBA. Comprehensive and practical, it follows the successful three part organisation of previous editions. Part 1 provides guidance on choosing an MBA course and all the factors that should be considered. Part 2 covers pre-course preparation, such as getting organisational support. Part 3 deals with the requisite skills necessary for students to make the most of their course and to perform well in assessments.


From the Back Cover

The provision and demand for MBA and postgraduate management programmes has never been higher. This highly successful text, now in its fourth edition, is designed to support all students through their studies.
This new edition has been fully updated to reflect the changes in the postgraduate and MBA market. New advice on MBA provision and on AMBA and other forms of accreditation helps to guide students through the increasing number of providers. The Internet is covered as a research tool and web references are also included. Greater coverage is given to the 'softer' issues within MBA programmes, such as multicultural/ethnic group work, 'virtual groups' and exploiting creativity.
The book is divided into three sections for easy reference.
Section 1 relates to the initial decision whether to undertake an MBA or other post-graduate management qualification. It offers advice on choosing the appropriate course in order to meet the reader's objectives.
Section 2 covers pre-course preparation including obtaining organisational support, developing time-management skills and improving IT skills.
Section 3 covers the requisite study skills necessary for readers to gain maximum benefit from their chosen course, and to perform well in assessment.
Sheila Cameron has worked for the Open University Business School since its inception. and has been involved in its MBA programme since its earliest design stages in a variety of roles, including a period as MBA Director.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good MBA partner, 9 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This is an extremely well written book packed with tons of useful advice. If you're about to start an MBA and are looking for general advice on how to prepare for your studies, then you'll find this product particularly useful.

The only downside (and minor one at that) to the book is that it perhaps tries to cover too much. For example, there is a section on how to exercise during study breaks. Personally, I'd refer to a more specific fitness book if I wanted such advice. Had the book not tried to cover too much and given a little more depth in one or two areas, then I would have awarded a full five stars.

A book you'll constantly refer to during your MBA studies, and keep at arms reach throughout your career. The fact that this book has spent very little time on my bookshelf, but instead has spent most of the time actually beside me, is an indication of how I value the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars MBA Handbook review, 20 Jul 2009
By M. Subajan Sivandran (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A decent piece of material. I purchased it in order to gain a better understanding of what I'm getting myself into. The book didnt have any information on the gmat and the pre-course content was about 30 pages, although 30 very good pages. I would reccommend this book to people who have already begun their studies rather than still deciding on things.
