MBA In A Day: What You Would Learn At Top-Tier Business Schools

by Steven Stralser

The same critical information top business schools teach
Based on Professor Stralser's popular seminar series, MBA in a Day? is specifically designed for the busy professional (physician, attorney, architect, nonprofit executive, etc.) or entrepreneur/small business owner, who needs to know about the "business-side" of their practice, organization or business. With comprehensive coverage of vital business topics, important concepts and proven strategies taught at top graduate schools, this handy book offers a complete business education without the hassle of enrolling in an MBA program. Divided into four sections covering management and policy; economics, finance, and accounting; marketing; and systems and processes; this straightforward guide is easy to navigate and simple to use. Packed with illustrative examples, helpful anecdotes, and real-world case studies, this commonsense guide covers everything busy professionals would learn at the very best business schools-if they only had the time.

It's a great book for its purpose, being a business primer. I looked at it as a very detailed complete MBA syllabus. This touches upon the basics that you are going to learn in business school, but of course, you will dive further in school. However, if you want to prepare yourself a bit for what you're in for, or if you're not sure that an MBA is for you, this would be a great book to read to answer that question. I'm about to start an MBA program with no business undergrad experience, and after reading this, I feel much more confident that while I don't have any educational experience in business, my professional experience has given me a better understanding of the business world than I thought.

انتهيت من قراءة هذا الكتاب من أجل التعرف بشكل أكثر على تخصص إدارة الأعمال بحكم أنني أرغب في دراسته لمرحلة الماجستير حالياً .. ووجدت الكتاب فعلاً غني بمعلومات مهمة استفدت من بعضها وبعضها الآخر توقعت أن يفيدني في مراحل متقدمة من دراستي في هذا القسم

فعلاً أعجبني وأنوي قراءته مرة أخرى في العطلة الصيفية

فهو يعطيك نظرة شاملة عن نشاط كل فرع من فروع الادارة

أنصح بقراءته

Excellent primer for a business newbie.

A review of the syllabus, not even close to what I picked up with my MBA.

[Nelson Faria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much generic, some interesting new concepts, but I will need something more powerful...

[Aditya Joshi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must Read for everyone..

[Shadi Al-shabaan · Rating 4 out of 5]

أستفدت منه بشكل كبير وكان يعتبر مثل تلخيص لجميع مقررات البكالوريوس
وفي نفس الوقت يفتح تفكيري لأشياء أكبر لو حبيت أتخصص إن شاء الله

[Fatima.zs · Rating 3 out of 5]

ينصح به لغير المتخصصين

[Bassel · Rating 4 out of 5]

يقوم بشرح مفاهيم ادارة الاعمال دون توسع مناسب لمن لا يملك خبرة في هذا المجال مشكلته العنوان المضلل نوعا ما حيث يحتاج الكتاب لايام اكثر من "يوم واحد" حيث ان كتب بعنوان ادارة الاعمال في عشرة أيام مثلا قد تزيد عن صفحات هذا الكتاب بحاولي 100 صفحة فقط

[Vaish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fairly elaborate. A good read to brush up on concepts and possibly discover new ones.

جيد

[Vlad Scutelnicu · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good book, offering a general overview of the businesses world. Combine it with a project management course and a business analysis course and you will get a very good understanding of how a firm works in the areas of business, management, critical thinking and economy.

[Kuldeep · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is perfect book with its title, anyhow for me it has take 3 days to complete.
After reading this book I am more profound for doing management studies in detail level.

I feel if someone has not done MBA and starting his carrier in corporate in any level should read this.
It will broaden his mind and views.

Thanks...

Having attended a top-tier business school I read this book to see how close to the mark it was. Conclusion: very far off. Even adjusting for it being out-of-date by several years (The chapters on IT and e-commerce are almost laughable.), it really only provides a cursory overview of the topics that would be covered in business school and it clearly targets an audience of new or potential small business owners. Most importantly, it just provides some vague concepts as opposed to inciting the reader actually to think through business situations, which is the primary academic purpose of case-method (most top-tier) business schools. Not recommended.

[Nouman · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Book is good, especially for those without formal business education. The author covers most of the MBA basics and gives reader more confident in business daily work decisions. I personally enjoyed most of the chapters, and I recommended the books especially for people who are already in business and in contact with various department in the company.

Elbette niyetim bir kitapla MBA mezunu olmak değil. :) Ancak MBA konularının neler olduğunu, iş alanında kendinizi hangi konularda gözden geçirmeniz ve geliştirmeniz gerektiğini anlamanız için iyi bir referans. Daha da önemlisi MBA yapmış olanlar ile iletişim kurarken neler yapmanız gerektiği hakkında da ipuçları bulabilrsiniz.

[Bill Donhiser · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very good business primer it is overdue for an update especially the tech sections but well worth the time of someone considering pursuing an MBA or someone who wants to gain the knowledge without spending the time in a traditional or executive MBA program

[Weaam · Rating 5 out of 5]

That the way I like books, direct compact and filled with info, I don't like reading 50 pages to get 5 pages info.

[Ahmed Nada · Rating 3 out of 5]

كتاب منظم بطريقة جميلة ,مفيد الى ابعد حد لمن يعمل فى مجال الادراة والبيع والتسويق انصح بالتطبيق العملى لكل النقاط المستفادة

[Ahmed Wahid · Rating 1 out of 5]

جميل جدا ,مشكلته الرئيسية انه مختصر زيادة عن اللزوم وخصوصا فى جانب التسويق والادرة, بالاضافة لندرة الامثلة !
