Description: Brings together the different areas within one text to offer a more integrative understanding of business and management, thereby addressing concerns about the fragmentation and 'silo' nature of traditional MBA teaching.
Review Quotes: As the title suggests The Essential MBA is a must read book. It is fundamental to MBA students as well as to those thinking of embarking on this course. The Essential MBA collects and critically explores core subjects typically taught on MBA degrees in a most accessible language. I highly recommend the book not only to MBA students and teachers but also to those attending other business and management courses

This is a text for the thinking MBA student who wants to look beyond the well-worn recipes and tired nostrums that permeate much of management teaching. The critical and reflexive approaches of each chapter promote thought and analysis in the wide range of management disciplines covered
