 Rating:  - What Mr Broughton should have thought about earlier?I believe that this is an interesting read for anybody who is considering an MBA at Harvard Business School and where Mr Broughton describes the teaching and details of the MBA the book is informative and useful. The main problem I had with the book is the complete lack of Mr Broughton's understanding of his own situation. If you are a journalist and work at the Paris office of a UK newspaper you are definitely on the right career track and the decision to try out something else might ...

Firstly, I'm a recent HBS graduate, and like Mr Delves-Broughton, I was also from the UK, though I had more of a traditional business background before attending. This book has been gaining quite a lot of interest from the HBS community with various debates as to how fair a representation it is. My major ...

I wanted to see whether my experience at London Business School would have been significantly different from that at a top American school; Harvard, of course, as far as MBA brands go, being number one in my opinion regardless of what competitors or any rankings say. This book can be recommended to those interested in applying to Harvard or a comparable top ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
