Do we even rate academic books?? I don’t know based on what to rate it to be honest..

I am going to rate it by how easy the book itself made the course for me. Did it simplify? Explained much? Didn’t explain enough and all.

To honest it really did help, the course slides didn’t offer as much as this book did, loved how after every definition of a concept that is described in a long paragraph, the keyword is taken out of the paragraph with its definition and is listed down beneath the paragraph. Which for me it helped me to differentiate between the example explained in the paragraph and the actual meaning of the concept 5 out of 5 for that part.

But I think speaking of it from my POV as a student who had to study the book for academic purposes, I don’t think I enjoyed it or read it as it was supposed to be read, since many concepts in the book the instructor didn’t bother on mentioning but he would tell us to read the book and try to understand it through the book only, and again I don’t think the book did any less of a job to explain it properly, it was just the experience I went through that effects my overall feeling towards this book, nothing on the book directly.

Demasiado caro para comprarlo en físico en Argentina, pero acá me tienen, con un pedazo de papel en la mochila rompiéndome la espalda. Pero al menos es ligero... de leer.

I red most of the book when I took a MGT course at the university when doing while doing my master's.
