University of California business professor Peter Navarro joins more than a dozen of his colleagues--including Stephen A.

In each chapter, What the Best MBAs Know first identifies the key concepts of a subject like strategy or finance.

The insights of these top professors throw open the doors of the best business schools as they highlight the latest strategies and tactics driving today's intensely competitive landscape.
