For many professionals, enrollment in an MBA programme is no longer the most practical route to furthering career goals. Not only does it entail massive cost and ongoing debt, but the fast-moving nature of modern business has rendered large swaths of traditional curricula almost irrelevant. This collection of 4- books offers an alternative to the traditional pathways of business learning.
The collection includes MBA 2.0: Handbook for Modern Business Practice, CEO School: Collective Wisdom of Top CEOs, Happy Company: How to Create a Happy, Trustable and Successful Business, and Go Nuts: The Art of Creativity and Innovation.
MBA 2.0 teaches you all the things you won’t learn in business school. Business schools are still adapting to the modern business environment, and many teach antiquated theories. MBA 2.0 teaches you what you really need to know by focusing on 38 distinct topics. Workplace psychology, motivation, time management, career development, and personal development techniques are all addressed. Also, the book offers analyses of mega shifts and predictions for how the business world will develop in the future. Topics such as social media, innovation, strategic thinking, hyper-connectivity, and leadership qualities are all discussed at length.

Go Nuts is a guide to developing the uber-important talents of creativity and innovation.
