The Visual MBA

Learn an entire MBA course without spending thousands and waving goodbye to two years of your life.

If you want to succeed in business then an MBA programme is the best way to build expertise, knowledge and experience. But an MBA programme at any top school is an enormous investment in time, effort and money. In The Visual MBA, Jason Barron offers a radical solution: explaining all key business school concepts through illustrations.

When he started his MBA course, he decided to draw all his notes so that other people could benefit from them. And it's a good thing he did, because research shows that more than 65 per cent of us are visual learners and that our brains process illustrations 60,000 times faster than text.

• Closing Thoughts

Fairly good, even if you probably have to have completed an MBA before you appreciate it.

As a primer on an MBA course, it is worthless, but if you want to remember some concepts and even see some connections that you haven't thought about before, it is a good buy.
