Product Description

Review

Not only does it contain good ideas, it sparks them... I thoroughly enjoyed Instant MBA . It contains what you need to know after you've forgotten the theories. Check it out. --Execupundit.com

Product Description

The benefits of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree can be massive - fast-track career advancement, a big fat wage packet, the whole high-flying top-notch executive lifestyle. But studying for an MBA isn't something to decide to do lightly - it's a big investment to take a year or more out of your career path or commit endless week-ends to a part-time version, and for many the cost of either of these options is prohibitive. "Instant MBA" is the must-have guide to making the most of yourself and your career prospects, whether you're studying for an MBA or just out to improve your prospects while you work. Covering all the latest in MBA thinking, "Instant MBA" will impart the MBA thinking, language and models necessary to accelerate your career advancement.Designed to enable readers to think, perform and hopefully earn like a top MBA student, "Instant MBA" is packed with inspiring and expert practical advice on everything you need to know, from the original tried-and-tested business models to the newer aspects such as emotional intelligence and inspirational leadership that modern MBA courses are now embracing. With the help of "Instant MBA" the sky is the limit.It is simply brilliant. All you need for success can be found in "Instant MBA". It provides inspiring and practical guidance that will allow readers to put MBA teaching into practice and enhance their career prospects. It is packed with expert advice, explaining MBA thinking in an easily-accessible style: all ideas are ready for instant implementation. The author has road-tested all the ideas and is straight-talking about what works and what doesn't. The chapters are completely independent of one another so readers can easily dip in and out.

5.0 out of 5 stars 52 great ideas to help you think like an MBA Graduate, 28 Sep 2009

By	M. Rutherford (Maidenhead, Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Instant MBA: Think, Perform and Earn Like a Top Business School Graduate (52 Brilliant Ideas) (Paperback)

This is a fantastic read for anyone who wants to learn some of the techniques used by the top MBA thinkers. Nicholas Bate has put together 52 bite size chapters that point you in the right direction if you are trying to develop yourself but can't afford the investment or the time for a full blown MBA.

Each chapter is independant, so you don't need to do what I did, and read the whole thing from start to finish - you can dip into a subject that you feel you need to learn more about like 'the value chain' or 'how to create a personal development plan'.

The book is also peppered with great advice from thought leaders like Gary Hamel and Daniel Goleman - along with information on what Bates calls the 'New World of Work drivers' which provide excellent insight into a changing business environment.

Nicholas Bates has an engaging and thoughful writing style (also at his Blog) which is straightforward and easy to digest.

Highly recommended business read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great investment - �14.99 for guaranteed career and business focus., 4 Oct 2009

By	Ms. D. L. Morrison - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Instant MBA: Think, Perform and Earn Like a Top Business School Graduate (52 Brilliant Ideas) (Paperback)

Whether you've ever thought of doing an MBA or not, this is a crucial business book to develop your thinking and career.

Nicholas Bate's energetic writing style keeps you engaged and enthused through the 52 chapters - which I found could be read independently with just as much value. The book is a condensed (but not superficial) analysis of the key concepts covered in an MBA and how you can use this information to develop yourself, your career and your business. Packed full of 'go dos' (that you'll actually want to go do!) and exercises to make you think this is a manual you'll come back to as a great reference point and way to shake your thinking up when revisiting.

A worthwhile investment of your time if you don't have the money/time/desire to do an MBA and a great read to gain insight into all areas of business, I've already recommended this several times over. It's a great compliment to Bate's other books and just as engaging and powerful.
