    Oh no. The American Management Association, a legitimate and significant membership-based non-profit, markets to the general public a five-day certificate program based on "10 vital business skills."

    That isn't a bad idea in and of itself. But they've titled it AMA 5-Day "MBA" Certificate Program. The ironic quotes around "MBA" are from the AMA, as if that'll mitigate this terrible category mistake.

    And this certificate costs $3,405 - 3,995?

    For that price, we might just be able to do every single degree offered by ENEB. :D

    You can still get a real MBA for that cost from either HAUniv or WGU, but it'll take longer than 5 days. :emoji_disappointed_relieved:

    Valid point! Probably a better plan than getting a dozen or more Spanish propios.

    This 1982 book I discovered in the library as a kid is an all-time favorite.

    Hey, I know the McCormack book! To read it was almost the weirdest experience of my business career. Interesting, but the guy was like "hey, did I mention how great I am? Behold..." the whole time!!!

    My favorite? Probably Robert Townsend: "Up the Organisation". From 1970 and still good!

    Similar experience with the book American Radical where, if you didn't know better you'd come away thinking the entire survival of the United States depended on one low-level FBI agent who could stop terrorism if it weren't for the incompetents staffing the DOJ, FBI, RCMP, and various other agencies he interacted with
