Something similar perhaps? Business Basics Bestseller 1: The Easy, Interesting, Open-book Look at the Game of Business Numbers! 2nd Edition When you seek to understand business, you can go with the long version or the short version. If you never had the financial side of a business explained to you before, you could consider "Business Basics Bestseller 1" as a 150 page starting point. This is not a suggestion that you substitute it for this book, just that you check it out as well. The BBB #1 book was written by a guy who teaches this stuff to everyone from shop floor employees to directors in companies. He's got a practical insight on how to get the right points across in a very entertaining way. BBB #1 will introduce you to the basics of business including the terms behind the numbers and where all the financial statements and formulas come from. That's a big help before you plow into a full-fledged business text. Search for "Business Basics Bestseller 1" and add it to your consideration. It can be one of your best investments. At less than 150 pages, you can enjoyably zip through it. | ||
Worthwhile elementary text. This book covers a lot of ground, so if it starts with some awfully basic stuff, that's okay. The only real complaint that I have is that the authors are a bit too rah-rah for my taste when discussing marketing, but then, that's probably par for the course; everybody who is into marketing tends to go overboard on the bubbly, fake energy. That, and the fact that they demonstrate an astounding lack of understanding of basic arithmetic when they assert that "while saving 2% by paying a bill early may not sound like much, doing it over the course of a year will save you 24%". | ||
