MBA Summary

MBA: A Novel by Douglas Board

Why is so much of the world MBA? When business school hot shot Ben Stillman is fired, he has the chance to find out. Ben jumps head first into turning his former business school into world-class madrassa of capitalism. Ben has 10 days to rescue the launch of its spectacular glass tower, and his own career as well as confront terrorist plots, undercover police, the extravagant demands of the super-rich, and the only woman who can save him from this madness. A satirical thriller, a love story, and a wry look at modern management ideology all rolled into one."

MBA Reviews

`A must-read for anyone who enjoyed Franzen's Freedom or Eggers' The Circle. MBA challenges and amuses with equal measure and makes you wonder about the impact of the Anglo-American dream' - Felicity Wood, The Bookseller, `Board takes no prisoners in this piercingly cynical yet oh-so-funny take on business school' - Booklist Online Exclusive, `A satirical thriller, a love story, and a wry look at modern management ideology all rolled into one - MBA is a piercing yet hopeful enquiry into the meaning of success' - Baby Dolls and Razorblades, `An enjoyable romp with a serious message lurking underneath all the farce and high jinks' - Books Are Cool, `A story about corruption, manipulation, lies and truth...garnished with humour. If you have an anxious disposition, maybe stock up on antacids first' - Bookshine and Readbows, `A fast-paced thriller come tongue-in-cheek satirical story on the convoluted hand in hand world of business and business schools' - Cheryl M-M's Book Blog
