The ultimate crash course in business From marketing to economics to international business to puzzling intangibles like corporate culture and leadership styles, this compact book launches The Fast Forward MBA series with a rapid fire overview of the basics of business. * What's the difference between a manager and a leader? * What is the lowdown on all of the restructuring and reengineering hype? * How do the numbers from accounting play into overall strategy? * What are the big and small of economics. These are just a few of the timely topics explored here. And in the soon to be signature style of the series, it presents this information in a mix of cases, examples, and quick and concise chapters that make it easy to find answers fast. VIRGINIA O'BRIEN (Marblehead, Massachusetts) is a freelance writer and editor. PAUL A. ARGENTI (Hanover, New Hampshire) is a professor at the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth University. A regular consultant to Fortune 500 companies, he is the co-author of The Portable MBA Desk Reference.
The Fast Forward MBA in Business is a very good reference for those who have studied business concepts, either in an MBA or undergraduate program. I think it would be good for any business person, whether they studied business or not. Few descriptions go far in depth. There are good examples given in case studies.
