Especially for very busy managers who are on the go most of the time, it's rarely possible to follow regular business classes. So Management audiobooks are a valuable alternative

Management Books
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, Third Edition (PMBOK Guides)
I used the book to study for the PMP exam as my main study source together with Rita's PMP Exam Prep book.
The intent of the book is great. The concepts in the book are sound and undoubtedly useful, after you decipher them :), but the writing is just so poor and so unnecessarily complicated, that makes the reading a real pain. I guess it is what you typically get when books are written by committees. There is a lot of duplication, and also many mistakes... way too many.
Regardless, if you really want to truly understand PMI's take on PM you need to read and understand the book. Just keep in mind that it is a model after all for project management and that in reality each situation requires proper judgement of what should be used out if it, at what extent, and so forth.
In the end, the content of the book did help me learn a lot, pass the exam and become a much better project manager. No question about this. Sinesie Somosan, Victoria, BC, Canada

I had to purchase this book for my MBA Fin Mgmt I class last semester. I actually purchased it from the bookstore. I didn't have a finance background. I really liked the way the authors made the subject easy to understand and comprehend. It gives you plenty of examples. The answers and calculations are given for the self-test questions. This class was taken all online. When I initially had taken this class on campus, I had to drop it because I wasn't understanding the concepts. After taking an Accounting course, I felt I was better preprared for this course a second time around. This book is written for the novice and advanced student. D. Jenkins
