A Whole MBA course within a small book!

by Hemanth Thiru from Toronto, Canada on 2009-11-29
I bought this book,to prepare myself before joining my MBA course. I read it fully and it was just awesome. Now I'm doing the MBA program and it's feels easy and sometimes even redundant! Awesome book, a must read for MBA aspirants and all managers/business men. Hats off to the author, Tom Gorman!

My First and Best Experience

by JeanPaulCharmant from Lagos, Nigeria on 2009-09-11
It was my first time ordering stuff online and Man, was I anxious or what?The biggest wonder was when my parcel arrived a day earlier than was promised. I was just so happy!!!As for the product, I think The Complete Idiot's Guide series never stops blowing my mind. You really don't need a brain to use it... It's a classic series.I look forward to ordering more stuff from amazon.com when I have the time and especially the money...Lastly, I'm very happy you guys don't discriminate against many African countries like many other sites do. I know the corruption puts us in bad light but come'n, we all aren't bad around here...Thanks again. Amazon, I love you!!!!

Decent Review

by Theodore Zeltner from USA on 2008-06-29
Fairy good review of major principles. Excellent review for national MBA exams but needs a bit more depth in finance, ie., accounting principles. Overall, recommended as a review of major tipics.

Very basic, but useful, survey of business topics

by Roy Massie from Birmingham, AL United States on 2007-10-27
I wanted a survey of what a trained manager learns/uses from school and this book met that goal. I have some management experience but there are large gaps in my training (e.g. accounting, etc.) At least now I know what I don't know. I particularly benefited from the accounting, billing sections. It goes far enough to explain the double entry ledger, how it works, etc.; kind of a diluted Accounting 101. This is the approach of the book on each topic as it plods over the curriculum of a business degree.Putting MBA in the title seems a little generous to me, it seems more like an introduction/survey of a business minor/major, but whatever. Some of the sections are a little longer than they have to be, the book seems a long read for what it accomplishes.The author does a good job of getting you into the mindset of an upwardly mobile manager to see how they think to organize work and people so they can take the next step up. Basic trade offs in investment, accuracy in accounting, how to hire, when to fire, etc. are all described in practical terms. Very easy to read and the index is useful.If you are a new entrepreneur with limited business exposure, or an older hand with gaps in your business education, this book could save you a lot trouble. It will not be of much use in areas where you already have real world experience. It can seem basic to the point of boring where you are experienced. But, this is about what to expect from the title of the book so I think it does its intended job pretty well.

Describes the climate today to a T

by This Guy 2100 from Seneca Falls, NY USA on 2009-12-20
I picked this book up at a discount book store for cheap and read it. Here are my thoughts:1.) There's a section about getting in. Mostly irrelevant, but maybe helpful for the motivated undergrad. I already got accepted to Buffalo upon buying this book. They very clearly weigh out what scores/experience is important when applying. 2.) The breakdown of what goes on in B-school and why you should apply and generally what to expect is accurate. 3.) The description of classes, Thursday night lectures, groupwork and scheduling is described perfectly. Maybe in 2001 they were ahead of the game because now, in 2009, they're RIGHT ON. Groupwork horror stories from the book have predicted events that friends of mine are experiencing right now constantly. 4.) The interviewing/networking tips are somewhat common sense, but there are some good stories and a few unique tips. Remember that MBA students are skeptics (much like JD students) and will not trust a tip/hint/suggestion unless there's a good story or example to back it up. This book provides these examples.It's funny, this book is the perfect handbook for the newly accepted B-school student...and it was written about 9 years ago. There really is no need for a new edition!

Sagacious Knowledge- Indispensable for any MBA Student

by Peter Porcupine from USA on 2007-11-16
MBA Jungle doesn't attempt to mimic the broad-listing program guides such as Peterson's. Nor does this book try to match up against some of the popular exam prep guides like the Princeton Review. What the MBA Jungle does present itself as is a neatly-packaged, comprehensive survival guide for the MBA student. Information and topics invaluable to the business school student are gathered in one succinct, well-rounded first timers guide to what is the Jungle of modern day business schools that you're bound to confront.Providing imperative guidance on issues and decisions that you'll encounter upon embarking on a graduate business education such as school selection, degree options, admissions factors, curriculum & specialization choices, as well as interviewing skills and job search advice are all presented in this unique handbook. Even student life and wardrobe tips are included. In addition to the facts and advice, MBA Jungle adds some light-hearted comedic tales about those who have made their way through this Jungle before. Knowledge from top b-school graduates and professors put forward in a well-organized, concise read makes this the most unprecedented, comprehensive read available about business school life.

Nothing New

by from Pittsburgh, PA on 2003-02-25
I got turned on to Jungle Media Group through my sister's subscription to JD Jungle magazine. I looked through the MBA Jungle website, and was really excited when I got this book. This book contains little to no new content not offered in the magazine or on the website. Some of the sections are taken directly from the website (probably vice versa actually). It's not to say that the information itself is not useful (although it is presented a little simplistically), but it feels very stale. So if you are a regular reader of MBA jungle or MBAJungle.com save your money.

Very useful to MBA hopefuls

by from on 2003-02-18
I found this text to be quite helpful, specifically, toward deciding if B-school is right for me, whether full-time/part-time is the way to go, and whether I should set my sights on a top-tier program or feel satisfied with a middle-tier school. Additionally, there's a ton of info that would be helpful for those in the first few months of the MBA program. If you're still deciding whether or not an MBA is right for you, this book will be a great resourse in helping you decide.

Good book if your school fits the mold

by NauticallyObsessed from Bellingham, WA USA on 2002-06-16
I found this book interesting, but it seemed to me that it would be most useful to a Harvard/Stanford/etc MBA. I go to a business school that is not a top school, and I found that much of what was said just didn't apply to me. In fact, after reading this book you might be scared away from b-school, even though many schools do not employ the pressure cooker tactics of some of the more prestigious ones. I would recommend reading the book, but remember that little advice can hold true for every program.
