This is a pretty good book to use as a textbook for a capstone course in an MBA program. It is an overview of all the previous core courses in any AACSB accredited MBA program. It is a summary and does not go into depth. It is slightly outdated containing only information prior to the 2007 Great Recession and the European Debt Crisis of 2010. The one weakness is that the most important new piece of stuff not covered in the core curriculum is real option analysis, yet the book does not do an effective job of going into the mathematics of it; the appendix on the topic is incomplete.

The great advantage of the book is that it is short, under 400 pages. This is greatly appreciated since a capstone course is going to have a massive case load and potentially an operating plan to prepare as part of the course that have enough reading for the students as it is.
