5.0 out of 5 stars
Required by every MBA student and business manager!!!!,
By gelhar@singnet.com.sg (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vest-Pocket MBA: Second Edition (Vest-Pocket Series) (Paperback)
This is one of the best fast references for business decision making and calculations. Rather than looking throught the voluminous texts which are required materials of business schools, this reference book holds all calculation procedures and examples of formula application required in MBA programs. Additional statistics tables are also included. This is a must for MBA students and business managers.

Handy but,
By Catherine Michael "catherinemichael" (Sacramento CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vest-Pocket MBA, Third Edition (Paperback)
there are 'way too many typos in the formulas and calculations; really needed a better proofreader and/or formula and table typist. So if you don't already have some experience with the subject matter, you will find working through the examples frustrating as you encounter these errors.
Another caveat: the examples are headed in big bold type, while the principles they illustrate are in smaller italic type. This makes it more difficult than necessary to find the subject you're looking for and to determine what the example is illustrating. Could also use a Glossary and an Index.

New Edition Doesn't always mean improved,
This review is from: The Vest-Pocket MBA, Third Edition (Paperback)
I have purchased the first and second edition in the past and would rate them both 5's. This new edition does not flow as well. I have used these books in the past to train my assistants who usually work with me for two years anmd the results have always been impressive. My current assistant is even more eagar to learn yet we seem to get "stuck in the mud with this edition. " I seriously considered rating this a three but relented when I realise that I was punishinmg the editors for failing to live up to the expectations they created in me due to past stellar performances, so in justice, I rated it a 4.
