The Ten-Day MBA condenses the core curriculum of the top American business schools into one volume: marketing, ethics, accounting, organisational behaviour, quantitative analysis, finance, operations, economics and strategy.

Silbiger holds an MBA and a CPA and wrote it after noticing how much of what he had paid for could be stated plainly.

It is a survey, not a substitute, and it says so. What it genuinely provides is the vocabulary, so that someone in a meeting full of business school graduates knows what a contribution margin is and can ask the next question.
