The Essential MBA

Brings together the different areas within one text to offer a more integrative

understanding of business and management, thereby addressing concerns about the fragmentation and 'silo' nature of traditional MBA teaching.

For help preparing for, and support during your MBA course, The Essential MBA brings together a comprehensive overview of the main subjects taught on MBA and business and management programmes in one book.

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.
