A unique book that covers the essential matters of business and management....It uses the language of the MBA & business school but does not go into the endless rhetoric of explaining which guru said what and why. I read this before embarking upon a series of business courses leading to an MBA, and it gave me a grounding in most, but not all, the areas covered in the course....I enjoyed reading the book and still refer to it occasionally; just to remind me of some of the basics. I can recommend it to anyone interested in a first book on this subject. --David Birtwhistle
