Product Description

If you are a student on an MBA or management course, you will be expected to demonstrate a knowledge of a range of models. This textbook collects together 45 models likely to be required by management students, summarized in a standard format. Each entry contains: a diagram of the model; the principles on which it is based; underlying assumptions; guidance on application and other relevant issues; related models; and sources of further reference. Models are organized by subject area: accounting; business strategy; human resources; organizational strategy; and strategic marketing. An alphabetical matrix index facilitates the process of finding the right model quickly. This book was first published in hardback as "Proven Management Models".

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference book for MBA students, 3 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This book is extremely useful to an MBA/Business studies student. A summary of the model is given along with assumptions and possible applications and importantly for the student related models.

It a good starting point to gain a basic understanding of the model without going into too much detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable- will have a post-course after-life, 29 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Clearly demonstrates all the main models you will be expected to learn during an MBA and a few that will give you extra marks if you include them in assessments. An excellent "portable" companion to the larger strategy texts. I like the way it cross-references models so that you get a feel of how they fit together to support an analysis. I used it as a revision aid and in open book exams. It was also well-used as a quick reference in study groups when discussing cases. The summary of accountancy ratios is very handy. Other students on the Edinburgh MBA have bought a copy and all rave about it. It will be in my desk drawer when I get that executive job.

2.0 out of 5 stars Limited usability, 27 Dec 2003

By A Customer

I bought the book with the expectation to see the connection between various modules within an MBA, which is how the book is positioned.

I was somewhat disappointed by the quality of the presentation, especially on the presentation of the comparisons between the models and how they fit together. I felt like reading the lesson notes from a student that have taken the courses and made a few observations about similarities between the different subjects within an MBA program.

If you need a summary of models that are common within an MBA program, you might get some value out of this book. If you try to learn more about the relationships between the models from this book, you might feel disappointed as I did.
