This book has Jason Barron's sketchnotes for 20 courses from the MBA program at BYU Marriott School of Business. It's a great way to gain a quick understanding of key business concepts. The artwork is nice and the notes accompanying it are just enough to clarify and emphasize the most important points. I recommend it highly for entrepreneurs, managers and business school students, and especially business school professors looking for new ways to communicate business concepts.

For someone that did not take Business in college, The Visual MBA was more than helpful in helping me understand probably everything I need to know about business administration and anything else related to management. The notes were clear and concise. very easy to understand.

An interesting take on the MBA experience. As a current MBA student I was interested in how the material would be presented. The illustrations are amusing, yet contain information.

Fantastic experience is awaiting you in this book. It makes you think and region your knowledge and skills. The book is very engaging because of the unusual format and the way it represents the concepts of business areas. Some of the chapters helped me to generate new ideas. Definitely recommend for reading!

As a business professional I am always looking for great quick methods of understanding or refreshing on common business concepts. The Visual MBA is just that! This book contains great graphic presentations anyone can use! As a current MBA student I found this book to be a useful supplement to many of my graduate classes and wish it had been available while I was going through my undergrad studies. I highly recommend this book and have already convinced multiple friends to purchase it.

I love the approach the author chose to explain how businesses work. The layout, drawings, and use of color make it a fun, and very informative read. The only choice I do not understand is why the book starts with a chapter on leadership (which is still good, don't get me wrong). I would have prefered it to move until after the financials. The book is not just an excellent start for anyone who wants to build a business. I think the approach is great for any student especially in high school, to learn a rather dull subject in a more relatable and fun way.

Such an informative, comprehensive read! I love how simply and easy it was to follow the sections in each chapter. Also the illustrations were fantastic and enhanced the material. Very thankful for Jason Barron for sharing this gem.

I loved this book -- as I try to get motivated to get my master's degree (preferably in Library Science), I've been debating on MBA. Just the thought of going back to school makes me tear my hair out. Why can't there be more books like The Visual MBA where we can read, take a test, and be done with it all? It's a great resource (I just wish it came with a degree).
