The 5 Parts of Every Business - The Personal MBA

Mr. Kaufman is a pathological liar. There are countless statements which are untrue or cannot be true. Early in the book, he accounts that he's read "thousands" of business books over a "5 year period." A minimum to reach "thousands" is any number over 2,000 ; therefore, he would have read 1.09 books per day, 365 days a year, minimum. Shame on the editors of Penguin Group Publishing for letting so many mistakes like this slide.

Josh Kaufman founded PersonalMBA.com as an alternative to the business school boondoggle. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. Now, he shares the essentials of entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiation, operations, productivity, systems design, and much more, in one comprehensive volume. The author, Mr. Kaufman, admits that he has no formal business education outside of working for P&G during the early 2000s. He begins this book with a venomous argument against getting an MBA. Most MBA graduates would definitely not agree on his points. Most of his assertions are simply wrong or misunderstood by the author. Executive MBA: Executive MBA programs, also known as EMBAs, are two-year programs geared toward leaders and executives with several years of managerial experience. Since most students in these programs are working professionals, the format tends to be part time with classes on evenings and weekends. Expect a faster-paced learning environment with less immersion than a typical program. With the skills you learn from an EMBA, you can often build off of your work experience to maximize your impact in your organization. Mr. Kaufman, please withdraw this work, you don't know what you are even writing about; otherwise, update it with the help of leaders who have experience in the business community.

Retailers:

A masterpiece. This is the ‘START HERE’ book I recommend to everyone interested in business. An amazing overview of everything you need to know. Covers all of the basics, minus buzz-words and fluff. One of the most inspiring things I’ve read in years.” MBA :) книга может быть полезна в качестве справочника, закрепляющего знание основных бизнес-понятий (особенно из смежных областей, не связанных с вашей специализацией), а также в качестве генератора новых идей по саморазвитию/развитию бизнеса. Businesses hire those with MBA degrees in certain roles, especially in management capacities, because it shows them that the candidate can handle the rigor. To wit, it's not simply about the textbook, it's about the discipline and the practice. MBA programs vary but most employ case-study approaches and assertion testing, which helps the student navigate decisions based on capital growth objectives. Equivocating that this could be learned through a single book is dangerous ; a Surgeon has an M.D. not because she studied Gray's Anatomy, but because the rigor and discipline involved assures us as her patient that she's practiced the decisions she is making in the vivisection of our body. This is true of an MBA graduate as well. Part-time MBA: Part-time MBA programs, sometimes called professional MBAs, offer flexibility and enhanced work-life balance for students who wish to pursue a degree over several years while working or raising a family. Students with an established career can continue earning valuable work experience while learning job skills that can be applied right away. Some employers offer tuition assistance or reimbursement for employees who pursue a graduate degree while working.
