Reviews
This book was my go-to resource to get a simple, digestible overview of concepts throughout my MBA, and subsequently as I put my learning into practice in my work. Finding complex detail on business management concepts is easy; finding a concise guide that demystifies and shows the links between disparate subjects is much harder. As a result, I heartily endorse the ‘MBA Day by Day’ for anyone who seeks to understand the subject matter of an MBA, in either an academic or work context. Edwin Geuter, Chief Strategy Officer, Right Stone This book provides unbelievably helpful and easy-to-digest content that simplifies an otherwise complicated process.
