MBA in a DAY 2.0: What you would learn at top-tier business schools (if you only had the time!)

By Steven Stralser

Book Overview

Who has the time or money for an MBA? You have a job, a professional practice, or a business to start or grow.

Business skills, however, are essential for success whether you're a doctor, lawyer, engineer, working in a non-profit organization or building your own business. Understanding basic concepts of economics, marketing, management, leadership, finance, and accounting will be the fuel for your drive and passion to succeed.

MBA in a DAY 2.0 tackles business fundamentals in a simple and engaging manner. Professor Steven Stralser, PhD, makes it easy to grasp the basics of business: how to manage people, how to manage money, how to manage markets, and how to manage business systems. These four areas of exploration will deepen your understanding of how the business world works.

Not everyone has time to take a class, but if you learn just one new concept every time you open this book, you'll be well on your way to build your own MBA

Customer Reviews

Amazing book

An amazing reading truly recommended. It is not a kind of a technical book for MBA students, rather a guide to the most important issues we face on our day-to-day administration or business activities. Even if you are already a MSc or MBA accredited, this book is worth a visit

Easy and Substantial

I find this book very easy to read. It is fraught with valuable, profound, substantial insights. It will rapidly acquaintance people who are not yet familar with MBA topics and it will solidify the knowledge of veterans in these issues. So, either way you win. Also, even though this book is intended mainly for service providers (doctors, lawyers), it can be easily extrapolated to any managerial work at whatever stage.

Also serves as great inspiration if you ever thought about doing your MBA

The hidden gem in this book, for those of you who don't have formal business education and always wondered whether the MBA was attainable for you, is that this book actually serves a wonderful second purpose. MBA in a Day allows you to "kick the tires", giving you a high-level overview of what you 'should' expect to cover during MBA study. Having read this book, I found the inspiration to learn more; as such I have enrolled in the MBA program where I already completed a masters in IT. My only issue with MBA in a Day is that I would have loved to have seen a chapter on Entrepreneurship-- which would be relevant to certain MBA-wannabes (like me), as well as the existing professionals (the main audience of the book) hoping to launch their own private practices. Neverthelesss, Dr. Stralser presents a wide variety of topics (including HR, Organizational Behaviour, Leadership, Ethics, Accounting/Finance, Economics, Marketing, Project Management, IS and Quality Management) in such an approachable way, making seemingly daunting subject matter easy to digest and appreciate. A definite buy, I am glad I picked up this book.... if you are thinking about doing your MBA, you should too.

Perfect for anyone

In my case the book was a great refresher having graduated over 3 years ago with a Business Adm. Major in college. For anyone unfamiliar with basic business concepts (Theory) this book is a practical & simple guide to learning the basics. For other's like me it's a great reference tool and refresher if you've been away from the books for a while. I'm planning to go to B-School this fall and I feel a little more comfortable now- knowing that the material is fresh in my mind. The book is easy to understand, well written and logically compiled. I would definitely recommend anyone searching for a business concepts book to give this book a shot.
