  Outdated !
  Being an Accountant/Controller for smaller corporations (75-200 employees) ... I can state that this book would be Out-of-Date as of 05 March 2003 .... since it was published in 1999!!(and who knows when it was actually 'written'??).
  Personnel issues & laws are changing too rapidly (so is the business world in general) to buy a book on business that is FOUR YRS. old !

  An Essential Reference in our small office.
  I own a small geoscience company in the petroleum sector; Rocks make senseto us, not files, office procedures or office equipment. There are three ofus in the company but nobody wanted to do the filing, bill-paying orbook-keeping because none of us had experience with these things.Initially, we created our own system(s)of getting things done by giving it2 or 3 seconds of thought. It worked fine until something changed, which italways does in this world.To straighten things up, I bought this book.It looked as useful as the much larger Desk Reference, which is aconvenient source of information that would take hours or days to locateany other way.The Business Desk Reference has kept us out of troublewith its brevity and accuracy. We discovered that our office was a plainvanilla setup and all we needed were a few 'tried & true' procedures tokeep us out areas where we don't know what we're doing and, instead, makingmoney, which we do know how to do.

  A must have reference!
  I have been using this book in the reference section of the library.I am sure that all of my family members will want a copy for work after they browse through my purchase. After thirty years in education, I have foundit to be my best source for career change information.The businessetiquette, and employment law information has been most helpful.

Title Doesn't Match Contents
This book is well-written, concise, and offers the uninitiated a good introduction to franchise planning and financing.However, I was disappointed that this is not really a book about "No Money Down Franchise Financing" at all.The first half of the book talks about basic business plan development and the second half talks about different sources of financing.But it approaches the issue of financing at a very, very basic level.In my opinion, a lot more attention should have been given to describing what lenders really look for and how to effectively structure your balance sheet, partnerships, etc.The section on SBA loans, for example, is dreadfully thin and, what's more, I have not found anything in this book that really truly explains how to get "No Money Down" financing.The issue of collateral is only briefly touched upon (a major obstacle for most borrowers).In summary, this a good business planning book for beginners, but a creative financing book it is not.

I really enjoyed this book.
Very helpful. To the point. Nicely organized with real help for starting and planning a franchise.

While negotiation has long been recognized as an activity that affects world peace it has also become a central aspect of professional life. The last two decades have witnessed the emergence of negotiation and conflict resolution as an important area of research and as an area of intense importance in professional areas such as law, government and business.

This authoritative and comprehensive collection presents outstanding research on negotiation and conflict resolution that views negotiation as a multi-party decision making process. Negotiation and conflict resolution are conceptualized as a decision-making activity, where the individual perceptions of each party and the interactive dynamics of multiple parties are critical elements.

This collection provides an invaluable selection of the most important writing of perhaps the most dominant view of negotiation and conflict resolution, and creates an intellectual history in the process. ... Read more

Product Description
The Buyer's Guide to Business Insurance is full of step-by-step guidance, ideas, and tips on how to improve your business insurance costs, coverage, and service from both insurance agencies and companies. The authors bring more than 38 years of industry experience to this helpful, non-technical reference guide -- showing you how to get the best property and casualty insurance coverage at the lowest prices.

One of the simplest ways business owners can save money is by re-examining their policy assumptions - an immediate refund may be yours for the asking. Most business insurance policies and rates are based on payrolls, inventories, or sales volumes. Too often, premiums on current policies are based on high values from pre-recession days. Your premium payments can be reduced simply by furnishing your agent or broker with the current real numbers. The Buyer's Guide to Business Insurance will:
* Help you save money and time when purchasing business insurance
* Simplify insurance purchasing with clear directions in an easy-to-use format
* Empower you with inside information about insurance people and industry methods
* Demystify the insurance process
* Eliminate confusion and complexity
* Help you avoid poor service
You will learn:
* What to look for in a policy;
* What questions to ask the broker; and
* How to compare alternative quotes.
Checklists, comparison charts, prepared letters, and forms make this book especially easy to use. If you want to save time and money through a streamlined process, and gain an unbiased viewpoint of your business insurance situation, read The Buyer's Guide to Business Insurance. ... Read more

The definitive reference guide for business insurance
After reading this book, all I can say is that it should be required reading for every company controller, accountant, and office manager in the country. It unravels the mysteries behind how business insurance works, how brokers and insurance companies exploit people's lack of knowledge of the system for their own gain, and gives you specific tools, techniques and instructions for taking steps to create massive reductions in your insurance bill. This is definitely the book that the insurance industry does not want us to see, and I'm definitely putting the wisdom I've gained from reading it to good practice in my own business.

Very Informative and well thought out.
Any business can learn from the no nonsense approach to how you shouldhandle your business insurance. The book is easy to read, and answersquestions about buying business insurance that you cannot get anywhereelse.

Insurance is confusing and this book takes the mystery out ofinsurance buying.Being afraid to switch insurance brokers could cost youa lot of money and this book tells you how to get more out of your ownbroker or how to tell if it is time to switch.

I reconmmend this book toany business that has to purchase insurance. ... Read more

Lots of Inspiration
While it did't give all the answers (no book can), it certainly provided lots of ideas and inspiration - and a Go Get 'Em attitude about making extra cash at school.

Backward approach
This book would be helpful if a real entrepreneur, like one of the interview subjects, wrote it.Instead, the reader gets a bunch of interviews taped together with non-intuitive commentary from a hack whowants desperately to be one of the people he is interviewing.

A Great Book for Every College Entrepreneur
