This review is from: New Frontiers in Healthcare Management: MBAs Evolving in the Business of Healthcare (Paperback)

Shlian and Patterson have compiled a fascinating array of personal experiences combined with factual background information. The assessments of the industry are timely and informative. The lessons learned by managers and executives range from interesting anecdotes to thougthful career tips. All the contributors have MBA's from UCLA's Anderson School of Management but there's a wide range of experiences and background represented among the contributors and the co-editors themselves.
