In every way, a giant business book
Business 2 is an extraordinary, indispensable work. It is comprehensive - blending classical approaches to business and leadership with ground-breaking ideas - while also being accessible, well-structured and highly readable.
The book builds on the success of the first edition with genuine insights from commercially-experienced business thinkers. I preferred this edition because it is not distorted by e-business hype and includes fresh and updated ideas as well as new issues. It remains practical, readable and stimulating.
If you are interested in finding ideas or the inspiration to develop your business, your team or yourself, then this book is a must!

Invaluable
As a recent graduate entering the world of business, this weighty volume provides the ideal companion to a notoriously complex field.

One can barely touch on the breadth and depth of information within this new edition. It is presented in a clear and understandable way, broken down logically to make it simple to find what you're after.

The knowledge of the business world's thinkers and doers is offered in easily digested segments. Checklists guide you through any imaginable task and the dictionary section clears up any confusion over terms encountered.

You'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

The Business
You need few other business books with this volume on your bookshelves. If you want to move your business forward or manage your people more effectively then you will find dozens of practical ideas here. Almost a bible for business and management. Not the best business book but one of the best and very comprehensive.
