With so many options for an MBA degree and the fact that this degree lends itself to multiple options in professional life and career progression, I totally loved going through this book. Given the fact that my brother-in-law too wants to do MBA, this book shall help me guide him too!
I liked the way Vibha guides the readers with multiple contexts through examples and cases. This gives the reader a much needed clarity for pursuing MBA abroad.
I would say, it emerges as a much read book for every MBA aspirant irrespective of whether they want to pursue it in India or abroad.
