Hi Ryan
Business administration is like dba, the degree is like an ocp now, this
gives you basic knowledge but don't give the real knowledge, an ocp is
better than nothing, but that doesn't convert you in a real dba.
There is some "hidden" books that makes you really understand business
administration, practical and very easy to read.
The problem is Business administration makes you believe you know about
every thing when you really don't know except an introduction of evrey thing
and that can cause you do serious mistakes.
For example about fraud you can read J.Comer, the same you have to read
constantly about psychology, industrial engineery (times and movements) ,
etc. etc.
I think anyway this will be usefull, but remember an MBA is only the
introduction, you have to read lots of books, like in the databaes you have
to test, I have read more than 50 books and thanks to them I have a more
real idea but this is still not enough, choose books based on real
investigations, people who got what they say, and avoid theotheretic books.
Several business week best sellers books are excellent.
You can start reading "what they don't teach in harvard business mba" from
Mark M., it is old but is really nice.
