business book

Corporate strategy text

A business book is a nonfiction work about commerce, management, leadership, or professional development.

The genre ranges from case studies and management theory to self-help guides promising career success.

Business books often distill research into actionable advice: Every executive on the team had read the same business book.

The term sometimes carries a dismissive tone, suggesting oversimplified ideas dressed up as insight.
