BATB score: 4/10 🌧
cloudy with a chance of murky brain
Best to: this is not a book, this is an encyclopedia; 200+ MBA concepts dump into one thick-ass book in 200+ short introductory snippets - too brief for in-depth understanding and too shallow for any practical adaptation
Best for: personally, pursuing an MBA and/or climbing the corporate ladder has nothing to do with how many MBA concepts you get to learn and remember
Best as: a smart-ass encyclopedia that makes your shelves look smarter; now with the internet, this book will pretty much be irrelevant and remain solely as home decor
