After ten years as a journalist, as Paris Bureau Chief for the Daily Telegraph of London, the author decided to break from that career path and attend Harvard Business School (HBS). He pursued a coveted Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from a venerable institution that produced some of America's greatest business leaders. In this book, he shares this experience with his readers.
I have never really considered a formal business education. I do not have the academic credentials to qualify me for graduate admission to an Ivy League school. For me, then, this book provided me a glimpse into a world I would never experience on my own. In a story-telling fashion that is both entertaining and insightful, Broughton shares his experiences and impressions. He is very upfront about the fact that his writing reflects his experience, which may not necessarily mimic that of his peers. For me personally, I really valued the chance to envision what it might be like to attend an elite MBA program like that at HBS. This is not simply a clinical narration, however, but rather incorporates both his philosophical perspectives and his wit. If the study of business is of interest to you, I would recommend this book.
