Not 100% on-point, but check out Roadside MBA, [1] which was written by a trio of MBA professors. Instead of using the case study method with examples from huge companies, they do a deep dive on small businesses that they visited on cross-country roadtrips. Very entertaining and accessible.

He was happy to do so, and did the same for his new book on the economics of sports. I don't plan to read the book about online dating with my daughter, but perhaps she'll read it on her own someday!
- m_0x 3y agoThe hardcover costs $5. I think it's the cheapest brand new hardcover price I've seen. Edit: It's $5 for a used edition. Then my comment is now moo.
