The key to doing well in an MBA can often appear to be shrouded in mystery, 'success' being a concept available only to the brilliant or the very lucky. MBA with Distinction proposes that MBAs are not mystery prizes linked to the wheel of fortune, but quite the reverse. They can be seen as a process which, if approached systematically, can be managed effectively. The advice in this book will assist readers to distinguish themselves as good MBA students, while developing their individual learning and writing styles. It will enable readers to optimise their abilities, as well as the time they have available. It explains the process of how the MBA works, because once students understand this, they can then begin to manage their own learning. MBA with Distinction will help all students do well in their MBAs by enabling them to feel 'in control' of their course, rather than being submerged by it. It also includes handy 'with distinction!' tips along the way for those who seek to excel in their programme.

This is a highly useful guide to the practice of doing an MBA - and from
a very reliable source, since both authors achieved distinction in an MBA
themselves while working full-time at demanding jobs. A serious MBA
stretches everybody who does one - not only leading to deep knowledge
about organisations and how they function, but also to a development of
self-understanding and management capabilities. This books gives an
excellent practical guide to how to go through this process and achieve
the knowledge and development which a good MBA provides. If you want to
make the serious investment of both time and money that an MBA entails
worthwhile, this is the book for you.

This book is a highly practical guide for busy MBA students, which can help
them make effective use of scarce time without sacrificing the quality of
their work. The text is highly accessible but never patronising. The authors
have the advantage of having studied successfully for their own MBAs before
becoming MBA tutors and examiners. The book truly benefits from their
ability to see what the world looks like on both sides of the MBA fence - it
should be on every new MBA student's reading list.
