Praise for The MBA Handbook
'A practical and thorough handbook, that prepares MBA students to balance work and study.'
-- Harriet Richmond, Subject Leader of HRM and Organisational Behaviour, University of Northampton
'The MBA Handbook appropriately introduces theoretical concepts and real-life examples to underpin practice-based exercises and thinking.'
-- Jayne Mothersdale, National Teacher Fellow, Leeds Beckett University
'The main strength is the generic nature of the book. This makes it a very useful 'one-stop' resource for MBA students.'
