The subjects covered include accounting, business history, business law, economics, entrepreneurship, ethics & social responsibility, finance, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, personal development, quantitative & qualitative research and strategy. This practical guide also incorporates external reading and resources, online library and information sources, case examples and links to online self-assessment tests to help you keep track of your learning achievements. The 30 Day MBA will enable you to take part in strategic decision making within your company, on an equal footing with MBA graduates. This accessible and in-depth new title places MBA skills within reach of all professionals in both large and small organisations and is essential reading.
