DESCRIPTION:
Interesting, but a few too many personal irrelevant opinions by the author Felipe Kovacic Corthorn I guess the title is pretty accurate, though it is more focus on the process once you have been admitted, rather than the application process. I am glad though that I was able to borrow the book from the local library as I would have been very disappointed to pay the current $45.95 price tag.The book is interesting to read however at some points one begins to think that the author is a bit "weird"
The author shows how to get the most out of an MBA programme, the instructors and fellow students. How to Get an MBA is a short handbook for either prospective MBA students wanting to know more about what is involved, or students seeking to prepare themselves for the experience to come. Topics covered include how to:*read and prepare a case*work in teams*design a project*carry out a project*present written material*communicate effectively in classrooms*interact with instructors and fellow students*use libraries and other resources*develop and manage personal networks*look for a job at the end of the programme.. As the first step on the road to a managerial career and lifelong learning, the MBA is one of the most important things a student will ever do. The student must take care to acquire not only the hard technical skills that the MBA provides directly through coursework, but also the soft skills, especially the ability to communicate and to establish and maintain networks, which are developed indirectly through the entire MBA experience
