This handbook was written out of a sense of frustration that so many students gained so little from their MBA studies despite a huge investment of time and effort. Thirty years of teaching later, the world is very different. Massive globalisation facilitated by the digital explosion, the financial crisis, the pandemic, (slowly) growing recognition of a climate emergency (and much more) have changed the world as we then knew it. There has also been an explosion of post-graduate management qualifications, and the text is relevant whatever MA or MSc course you are on, if it relates in any way to management or business.
