Product Description

Review

"This is a highly useful guide to the practice of doing an MBA - and from

a very reliable source, since both authors achieved distinction in an MBA

themselves while working full-time at demanding jobs. A serious MBA

stretches everybody who does one - not only leading to deep knowledge

about organisations and how they function, but also to a development of

self-understanding and management capabilities. This books gives an

excellent practical guide to how to go through this process and achieve

the knowledge and development which a good MBA provides. If you want to

make the serious investment of both time and money that an MBA entails

worthwhile, this is the book for you."

Professor Stephen Watson, Principal, Henley Management College, Chair, Association of Business Schools

"This book is a highly practical guide for busy MBA students, which can help

them make effective use of scarce time without sacrificing the quality of

their work. The text is highly accessible but never patronising. The authors

have the advantage of having studied successfully for their own MBAs before

becoming MBA tutors and examiners. The book truly benefits from their

ability to see what the world looks like on both sides of the MBA fence - it

should be on every new MBA student's reading list."

Professor Rosemary Deem BA Hons Social Sciences, MPhil, PhD. Director of Teaching and Learning, The Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol

 

"This title demystifies the process of getting an MBA and aims to help students to optimise their performance."

Business A.M

 

"...a must buy for all aspiring MBA students." Mike Jones, former director general of the Association of MBAs

Ambassador (AMBA Magazine)

Product Description

The key to doing well in an MBA can often appear to be shrouded in mystery, 'success' being a concept available only to the brilliant or the very lucky. MBA with Distinction proposes that MBAs are not mystery prizes linked to the wheel of fortune, but quite the reverse. They can be seen as a process which, if approached systematically, can be managed effectively.   The advice in this book will assist readers to distinguish themselves as good MBA students, while developing their individual learning and writing styles. It will enable readers to optimise their abilities, as well as the time they have available. It explains the process of how the MBA works, because once students understand this, they can then begin to manage their own learning.   MBA with Distinction will help all students do well in their MBAs by enabling them to feel 'in control' of their course, rather than being submerged by it. It also includes handy 'with distinction!' tips along the way for those who seek to excel in their programme.

5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL HANDBOOK, 7 Nov 2002
Having just embarked on an MBA programme with some trepidation I needed something to remove some of the mystique and prepare me for some of the challenges ahead. This book has done just that for me. It has put the achievement of a distinction into achievable terms I can grasp. Since time management is so crucial to success, it has helped pinpoint strategies to make best use of yours. Easily digested in one sitting, and most importantly easily dipped into on an ongoing basis, it is a really good handbook for anyone wishing to enjoy and really achieve on their MBA programme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, detailed, and helpful!, 23 Dec 2004
Previously having had no idea about what I'd be expeceted to perform in an MBA programme, if I were to register, this book helped me uncover what's required and what's not.
Obviously, the authors of this brilliant book have been teaching MBA students for years and their advice and tips for excellence will surely give readers clear idea on not only what students are required to do but also what tutors of the MBA courses require.
Also it is written in easy English, which helped non-native speakers of English like me. If you're working or studying and
wondering what students of MBAs are doing, then this is the book that can be the best guide to MBA courses!
Please note, however, if you'd like to know more about MBA courses in detail, then it might not suit your need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read before embarking on MBA!, 14 April 2007
By Karl Grocock (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fantastic guide to getting started on an MBA and the work that will be involved. If I'd have read this before beginning an MBA I probably wouldn't have started but would have at least been informed by the work involved. Once started on an MBA sections of the book cover what you need to know to get distinction grades. A great asset alongside traditional texts to ensure you get the best from your MBA.
