Ask HN: What book best encapsulates what you learned in business school?
If you had to pick a single book that to you encapsulates the most important principles and theories you learned in business school, what would it be?
So I'd say the "book of life" , don't be afraid to get out there and work as a shit kicker at the bottom, you get a good view from there up to the top if you keep your eyes open and read between the lines.
I had never studied business before (at any level), but found myself in a position where I was managing software projects, and dealing with MBA's from our client companies every single day.
I wouldn't say this is a replacement for going to business school, but for me -- it helped me understand the world my clients were coming from, and how they were incentivized.
So yes -- very practical book, easy to get through, and highly recommended. Gives a broad overview of the field, so you can at least speak the lingo.
