Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Ten-Day MBA 5th Ed.
Steven A Silbiger · 2024
82/100
👍 Worth It
This is the rare business book that actually earns its ambitious promise — a full MBA curriculum in a readable, self-directed format. The fifth edition's updates land right where they need to, adding AI, crypto, and ESG without gutting the core frameworks that made earlier editions sell 650,000 copies. Professionals who want solid business literacy without a two-year program will get genuine value here.
