Title: It's really not very good
Product review: This book is really not as good as the 4 or 5 positive reviews would have you believe. It is overly simplistic and provides no information that any MBA couldn't have thought up in 5 minutes.There are two major sections to Beatty's book. 1: How businesses think "today" (really, 1996) and 2: Basics (and I mean basic) on the executive job search. The first part is pretty useless because as an MBA, you should have your own thoughts and opinions on today's businesses. This book provides nothing worth spending money for. The second part is okay if you know nothing about executive job searching but is much better served by John Lucht's "Rites of Passage".For real insights on Executive career movement, John Lucht's "Rites of Passage" is a must read. In the last week, I have read both books (I'm currently leaving a Big 3 consultancy) and Lucht's book was infinitely more valuable.Good luck.
