Featured Reviews

I just finished the 30 Day MBA and was impressed with the depth of knowledge it contains. I have read several other MBA fundamentals books and this was one of the most approachable and complete editions I have seen. This book is a terrific resource to executives. If I could ask for 1 thing in a future edition, it would be to add more US based examples and resources. There are some small differences with accounting and corporate law between the US and UK that were evident.
