This is well worth reading before you embark on the long haul of an MBA. It helps you in the decision process, with pre-course preparation and refreshes some probably long-forgotten basic study skills, as well as introducing new ones – like how to tackle case studies. Buy it – you’ll find yourself referring to it continuously, and probably even after completing the course.
