A useful primer for anyone considering a similar path, or just curious as to how Harvard churns out all those gleaming little masters of the universe
A particularly absorbing and entertaining read
A cautionary tale for those who believe that the grass - and their future paycheck - would be greener if only they could jump the fence into the rarefied world of the Masters of Business Administration
Original, clever, funny - and full of insights into one of the most influential insitutions in the world
What They Teach You...' is a hilarious, perceptive and unflinching account of the strange world of Harvard Business School, its students and the wider world of business which they are set to dominate. It is the Liar's Poker of the MBA set. Destined to become a classic
