The ultimate guide to modern business
For over ten years, business leaders have relied on The Portable MBA to guide them through the cutting-edge business theories and practices taught in today's top MBA programs. This completely revised edition of the classic volume incorporates the lessons learned from the dot-com craze, explores the challenges of managing a global work force and of working in an economic decline, and integrates such recent trends as entrepreneurial thinking in large corporations.

Review:
One of the more exciting aspects of today's entrepreneurial boom is the emergence of formidable players with varied backgrounds; one of the more significant challenges for many of them involves learning what's required to take their great ideas to the next (read: profitable) level. The Portable MBA, based on the general management program at the University of Virginia's Darden School and written by five faculty members, is a comprehensive reference for those who need the information on marketing, economics, ethics, technology, and strategy typically taught in the first year of an MBA program.
From the Publisher:
