The Essential MBA
- Susan Miller - University of Durham, UK
Each chapter is written by a specialized contributor and offers students a helpful introduction to each topic of study, including:
- Sections on research methods and study skills
- Further reading recommendations and questions for reflection
- A critical perspective of the subject matter and reviews of alternative approaches.
This text is an invaluable guide for MBA students, as well a useful introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate students of business and management.
Susan Miller is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Hull University Business School
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

A very comprehensive and detailed book into the main and relevant areas of an MBA
All you need to know - straight to the point with good concrete example of good practice and research techniques
Some useful chapters to support more specific reading on the MBA medical leadership programme.
I have decided to adopt this text for MBA for the academic year 2011.
The content of this text is easy to understand for my students.
Simple cases in the text are also useful for the discussion in the class.
