education, the goal of What's Your MBA IQ? is to make the knowledge
contained in an MBA accessible to all business practitioners. As a
result, this book is equally relevant to business practitioners,
whether or not they pursue an MBA. Also, your organization can use
What's Your MBA IQ? to assess its business practitioners' readiness
