I have gone thru the Book, Name is Good but if we talk about font and layout, I guess modification is required as I found Alignment of content in complete book is not justified (Ctrl+J), Yes Content page looks too bulky and looks confusing as no bullets are given to main headings, we can make it less bulky by adding the bullet to Main Headings too and reduce the Size of fonts at the same time, font style. How to use book and Benefits are previously written. Content and Quiz framing are also Good, no doubt in that. It will be beneficial to students, professionals, mid-level managers, startup founders. We can put this course as Generic Elective Course or as General Management Subject. Guess if we work on above mentioned points then this book becomes excellent though I thoroughly reviewed it 😇Thanks
