Along the lines of the recommended pre-MBA readings, which I have updated by the way, is this video that I like quite a lot. Definitely worthwhile having a look at before doing your MBA or simply for anybody!!

Pre-MBA Video: Did you know?
October 19, 2009Recommended Pre-MBA Readings
October 14, 2009Undergoing the MBA currently I realised that there are many concepts that keep appearing during the courses and classes. Especially people that do not have a Business Management and/or business education background should familiarise themselves with certain concepts and readings prior to an MBA. These readings are not compulsary but certainly help a lot for preparing and following for the education and are generally a good read as well. I will add this section as a separate page on the right as well and I will continuously add new readings as they come along:
- Agency theory
- Thomas Friedmann – The world is flat
- Statistics
- CSR – Milton Friedmann (1970): “The Social Responsibility of Business is to increase its profits”, New York Times, pp. 87-91.
- Operations – Steven Kerr (1995): “On the folly of rewarding A, while hoping for B”, Academy of Management Executive
- Strategy – Michael Porter’s “5 forces“
- to be continued
What else do you recommend?
