DESCRIPTION:
"Excellent no-nonesense guide" according to Amazon Customer. Outstanding reference. No frills, just gets straight to the point and dishes out tons of practical advice. I've used the book since starting my MBA program in the summer. It helped me choose my classes, zero in on the important content, and develop a plan to network with my classmates and professors. Would definitely recommend it to anyone going into an MBA program or for those trying to decide if an MBA is the right option.. Great way to learn the fundamentals I don't come from a traditional finance background, so I can use all the help I can get gearing up for when my program starts. This book gave me a really good sense of the basics I think I'll need, and definitely filled in some gaps in my knowledge base. Recommend it for a clear, straightforward way to learn the basics.
You get to meet loads of new people, learn about, and interview with, many different companies and study exciting topics. These include hard skills such as accounting, finance and statistics, as well as soft skills such as networking, searching for jobs and perfecting resumes.. However there are basics that have to be mastered: How do you analyze financial statements? How to set up a pivot table? How to run, and understand, a regression analysis or discounted cash flow?MBA Prep was started when the author got accepted into business school and couldn't find a book that would give him a basic outline of what he needed to know before he started the MBA program.This book provides an easy to understand overview of the basics every MBA student should know before they head to their first day on campus. The book covers key skills that MBA students will need in their first few months of studying. Getting an MBA is an incredibly rewarding experience
