Long-time customer and current evening PMBA student pleased with the new edition.
Aug 27 2012
By Mark McCaskill
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I started with the second edition of the Ten Day MBA around the year 2000. I used both the second and third editions as a primer for business and MBA concepts over the last decade. At the time, I did not know if I would go back to get an MBA. Several years ago, I enrolled in an evening Professional MBA program at Radford University. I am about 80% complete with the PMBA; and I used the fourth edition to help consolidate my knowledge before moving on to the last few classes. Reading the fourth edition was a much richer experience, now that I had classroom experience to relate the material. It is true that you can use this book as a primer if you aren't going to get the MBA in the near term; and as a review if you are about to complete an MBA. I have purchased the second, third and fourth editions over the years, and read each of them with different purposes and goals in mind, depending on my situation. This book has never disappointed, no matter what stage of career and education I was in at the time. For the price, it is an amazing value.

Walk, Talk, Think Like An MBA
Jan 31 2013
By America's Legal Analyst
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is truly crammed with knowledge. Not just the jargon, but the real meat of a top MBA program. I am a practicing attorney and an analyst for a local (San Francisco) TV Station. I work with businesses every day an often assist them in strategic decisions. A few years back, I was recruited to teach "Law and Ethics for MBA's" at a local university. To my surprise, I found the subject matter of the MBA program inherently fascinating. I picked up the third edition of "Ten Day MBA" to get an overview of the other courses that my students were taking. It really helped me talk the language that my students and other faculty talked. I now teach a course that I designed myself, "Game Theory, Negotiation and Strategic Decision Making," and I have begun to work on a start-up with one of my former students. I am working through Edition 4, with its new material on "Internet and Social Marketing" and "Enterpeneurship" to prepare me for running my own company. Of all the MBA "Overview" books out there, this by far the best.

The MBA experience (minus networking) in a Portable Book
Nov 12 2012
By Aleks
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is beyond a phenomenal resource for people considering going into an MBA program or those that have already been through the experience and want/need a refresher. The book is close to 400 pages and I'm a painfully slow reader and still pushed through the book in a fairly good amount of time. However, this book should not be measured by how quickly you complete it, but how much you will learn and gain from it. I gained a ton of knowledge from it and have already begun using the language and ideas learned with my colleagues and clients.
Great book and resource.
