Review: Study Skills for Business and Management

Study Skills for Business and Management is a guide packed with tips and tools to help any business student get the most out of their degree. For first years it is a great introduction to university work and the different skills that are needed. The book also has a lot to offer second and final year students as you can dip in and out of sections to brush up on certain skills and identify common mistakes that you may be making.

The book is written in an easy to read style, with plenty of supporting diagrams, tables and real life examples from the authors, as well as those of current business students. Each chapter is well structured, which means that it is easy to review certain aspects, such as for presentations, when that type of assignment is given. The authors also relate each chapter to working life, which helps to remind students that the tools, for example in essay writing or mind mapping, can be carried forward into work.
