by Peter Navarro, Carlos Ganzinelli Grampín (Translator), Peter Navarro

"What the Best MBAs Know covers the breakthrough strategies, techniques, and ideas that are being taught in the classrooms of today's top MBA programs. University of California business professor Peter Navarro joins more than a dozen of his colleagues - including Stephen A. Ross of MIT's Sloan School, Daniel Spulber of Northwestern's Kellogg School, and Charles P. Bonini of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business - to provide you with the key concepts, tools, and knowledge that until now could only be obtained through an MBA degree. This comprehensive book covers virtually every subject taught in an intensive MBA program." "In each chapter, What the Best MBAs Know first identifies the key concepts of a subject like strategy or finance. One of the world's top business professors then illustrates how these concepts are applied on a daily basis in the rough-and-ready world of international business. The insights of these top professors throw open the doors of the best business schools as they highlight the latest strategies and tactics driving today's intensely competitive landscape." Whether you are currently pursuing an MBA, already have an MBA but need to refresh and update your information, or simply want to arm yourself with MBA-level knowledge without the time and financial commitments involved in obtaining the degree, this all-in-one resource will help to place you on the same strategic playing field as your competitors.

Reviews

[Alexandr Iscenco · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book represents a rather good and comparatively rich overview of key theories, concepts, and notions in the domains of business development, management, marketing, finance, microeconomics, etc. It is informative for those willing to enter an MBA program or those preparing to elaborate and deliver a study program of his/her own.
However, the book won't give any in-depth knowledge on any of the subject it touches. And the abundance of all theories and concepts makes it hard to remember essential things. Furthermore, the quality of examples and graphical material is quite far from the best, at least in the copy that I've got.
Overall, the book may be useful for reading for prospective MBA students and business teachers / trainers, but it has not so much value for real business development practice.

Amazing read! Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Presented the information clear and concise, and in a manner that didn’t feel too research heavy or academic! Reads like this has been great for developing and broadening my business acumen.

Over the summer, I worked though What the Best MBAs Know by Peter Navarro in preparation for entering the MBA program at the University of Iowa. I took notes on each chapter and tried to soak in the wealth of information in this book. Peter Navarro and the other authors who contributed to this book know what they are talking about and have presented it in an easy-to-read, well-organized book. I would recommend this to leaders in the business or non-profit sector, those considering an MBA degree, those entering an MBA program and perhaps even as a refresher for those who have earned an MBA.

Excellent overview of what goes on in most MBA programs. It has chapters on most major subject with each being written by different professors, some are better than others.

Don't waste your money-

[J Roberts · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again, if you have an MBA, you won't need this book. If you don't, you'll have just enough info to be dangerous.
