Praise for Your MBA with Distinction

This book is a ‘must buy’ for all aspiring MBA students as they seek to

maximise the return on the many differing investments they have to make in

order to participate successfully in leading MBA programmes. It provides a

practical, realistic understanding of the processes involved in undertaking and

achieving an MBA degree. The work is an outcome of the two author’s practical

experience of both sides of the academic fence, being both MBA students and

tutors at one of the UK’s leading management schools. This position enables

them to empathetically lead the student through the myriad of situations they

will encounter during their MBA experience in order that they might gain

insight and preparation that should stand them in good stead. Many important

aspects are discussed such as Learning in teams, Cultural issues and Life

balance which the mature student might be facing for the first time as well

as some very useful hints on how to be successful in exams, assignments,

presentations and projects. The overall aim of the book is to provide a recipe

to assist the student in understanding and achieving the tasks necessary to

successfully complete MBA studies. As such, it provides a comprehensive and

accessible reference work for students and it is also an eminently sensible

addition to the pre-MBA reading for all would-be students.

I commend it to you.

This book is a highly practical guide for busy MBA students, which can help

them make effective use of scarce time without sacrificing the quality of their

work. The text is highly accessible but never patronising. The authors have the

advantage of having studied successfully for their own MBAs before becoming

MBA tutors and examiners. The book truly benefits from their ability to see

what the world looks like on both sides of the MBA fence – it should be on

every new MBA student's reading list.

This is a highly useful guide to the practice of doing an MBA – and from a very

reliable source, since both authors achieved distinction in an MBA themselves

while working full-time at demanding jobs. A serious MBA stretches everybody

who does one – not only leading to deep knowledge about organisations and

how they function, but also to a development of self-understanding and man-

agement capabilities. This books gives an excellent practical guide to how to go

through this process and achieve the knowledge and development which a

good MBA provides. If you want to make the serious investment of both time

and money that an MBA entails worthwhile, this is the book for you.
