Two Years of Business School Packed Into One Priceless Book of Pure Awesomeness

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 Barron 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% of us are visual learners and that our brains process illustrations 60,000 times faster than text. From Marketing, Ethics and Accounting to Organisational Behaviour, Finance, Operations and Strategy, The Visual MBA distils the most important principles of an MBA into an accessible, informative and easily-digestible guide. Jason Barron is a product manager and illustrator who helps people realise their creative ideas through visual learning. He spent 516 hours in class and countless hours studying at home completing his MBA. Along the way, rather than taking notes that he would never read again, Jason created sketchnotes for each class and has turned them into an interesting and engaging resource so that you don't have to sit through another class again!

A Quick Guide to Everything You’ll Learn in Two Years of Business School

Good at giving an introduction to what knowledge you would gain from an MBA course but too little information to be actionable. Good for figuring out what to work on next, but you’re basically buying a printed version of a long and shallow medium post.
