The "Business Bible" that captured the imaginations and fueled the ambitions of readers from the boardroom to the mailroom has now been completely revised and updated to reflect the state of the business world today. This one-ofa- kind reference guide offers readers a portable M.B.A. between two covers without the expense of tuition, the trouble of entrance exams, or the struggle of making it to classes on time. As business is arguably the most potent force in society today--CEOs wield more power and influence than political leaders, trade of goods and services spreads cultural values around the globe, even the rules of commerce increasingly govern the administration of our educational, nonprofit, and social institutions--it is more important than ever that professionals from all walks of life understand its language and its theories. Business: The Ultimate Resource captures the state of the art in business today, and the extensive revisions and additions make this second editionthe undisputed reference for anyone in the field. The additional material includes 30 new articles from authors such as Michael E. Gerber, Howard Rheingold, and Francis Fukuyama; the Management Library is 40 percent new with 39 articles, including "The Tipping Point" and "Barbarians at the Gate." Moreover, everything else--from the Actionlists to the Dictionary-is fully updated to reflect the latest in business knowledge. Business is the gold standard of insight and information for executives and managers, entrepreneurs, administrators, educators, and students alike.
"The most ambitious business book ever published." "Like a business library between two covers...this volume will be what its title promises." "[A] tour de force, a grand sweep across the landscape of practice and theory." -- Tom Petzinger "Answers nearly any question about how to do business better.... Worth a spot on any manager's shelf." "Any library or personal business collection will want a copy of this unique and reasonably priced reference." "Business delivers the goods.... Flip to any page and you'll find gems of information.... Might be the closest we have to a business bible." "Loaded with all kinds of interesting and useful sections.... Pound for pound, in fact, it may be the best purchase one could make for a business library." "With this kind of depth and breadth, Business obviously has something for everyone. It's bound to be one of the most talked about books of the decade." -- Stan Davis "Ever wish you had a crib sheet for those business tomes you haven't got around to reading, or a quick way to match famous business thinkers with their theories?... Business: The Ultimate Resource is both of those and more."
