Synopsis

"Small Business Management, 4e", takes a practical, down-to-earth approach to planning, organizing, and managing a small business. While based on current research, theory, and practice, the material is presented from a "how-to" perspective, with many practical examples and applications from the business world. This text also explores arguments both for and against owning a small business. All three authors, Megginson, Byrd and Megginson, have had meaningful experience in the "real world" as an owner, manager or employee of one or more small businesses.
