Rezensionen / Stimmen
For anyone thinking of doing an MBA, or indeed anyone who wants to understand how the corporate elite are moulded, this is a must read * Luke Johnson, chairman of Channel 4 * Anyone considering enrolling will find this an insightful portrait of HBS life * Economist * Horrifying and very funny... [an] excellent book * Wall Street Journal * A searingly funny account... Hilarious * Evening Standard * The result of Delves Broughton's time there is this funny and revealing insider's view, revealing precisely because he is genuinely fascinated by the world of business, and his fascination is infectious * The Sunday Times * He sets the scene brilliantly, capturing an essence of HBS that is part cult, part psychological morass, part hothouse... For anyone planning to attend this remarkable institution, Delves Broughton's book is invaluable... A quite brilliant book -- Simon Heffer * Literary Review * Delves Broughton sketches out the Harvard curriculum and his fellow travellers with skill and wit... His work is a handy introduction for those who crave the mega-bucks and mega-power that HBS brings many of its graduates. But while it is not the kind of book that non-business readers will naturally reach for, it deserves a broader audience * The Times * A useful primer for anyone considering a similar path, or just curious as to how Harvard churns out all those gleaming little masters of the universe * Washington Post * A particularly absorbing and entertaining read * Financial Times * A cautionary tale for those who believe that the grass - and their future paycheck - would be greener if only they could jump the fence into the rarefied world of the Masters of Business Administration * New York Times *
