Have you ever wondered what your colleagues mean when they talk about Customer Lifetime Value, CPM, debtors and creditors, liabilities and receivables, EBIT and EBITDA, leverage, IPO, M&A, and other business jargon?
Would you like to join in the conversation without completing an MBA program? Then “The Ten-Day MBA” is just right for you!
In ten chapters, Steven A. Silbiger, a top-ten MBA graduate himself, concisely and clearly summarizes the fundamental knowledge taught at the top business schools in the USA.
With numerous practical examples, you will learn the most essential terms and concepts from marketing, ethics, accounting, organizational behavior, quantitative analysis, financial planning, operations, economics, and corporate strategy. As a ten-day MBA, you will know how to read and interpret financial statements, and you will be able to participate when colleagues talk about raising capital through the issuance of new shares or an IPO.
While the book cannot replace an MBA program, understanding the basic concepts and key professional jargon will prepare you well for discussions with your business, finance, and management colleagues.
A recommendation for anyone considering an MBA or just wanting to be able to join the conversation.
🎧 Suitable as an audiobook? I would not recommend it, as the book contains numerous tables, diagrams, and formulas, and the knowledge is so condensed that I often had to read entire paragraphs several times.
P.S.: I read the fourth edition from 2012. Those interested may want to wait for the 5th edition, which was recently announced for July 2024.
