      It's very well written; most of the textbooks are boring as hell and just reading one page is tiring - but I kept reading this one with unexpected pleasure and interest. Real-life examples helped too. Some concepts that confused me in other textbooks were explained more clearly here; diagrams and charts were easy to understand as well.I bought this book for reviewing before exams, but I imagine it can be very useful for practicing managers.
