This book is a suitable way of ending an MBA program as it covers nearly every aspect of the program. The case studies that the authors use to accentuate their points, especially regarding the Diamond-E Framework, were great. However, the book is clumsily written and covers a lot of material, which found me drifting off in thoughts on numerous occasions. Because of this, it was a tough read. It is a suitable ending to a long program, but would not be my first choice of books.

This is the lovely book I am reading now for school. I can't wait until I'm done and can have time to read something I choose again!
