Sherman, an attorney with Greenberg, Taurig in Washington, D.C., also teaches courses about growth strategies in MBA programs at Georgetown University and the University of Maryland, specializing in various aspects of company growth. Here he looks at the many changes and developments in corporate life that have resulted in the great growth of entrepreneurship both domestically and abroad. Noting that his experience as a consultant has convinced him that following a pattern of steps or procedures can avoid many problems, he considers such issues as the choice of the right type of business structure, selection and care of employees, contracts and agreements, advisers for planning and expansion, and potentials and pitfalls of expansion. The result is an effective handbook written in direct fashion for business owners at many stages of their business life. Required reading for those working in the vast number of emerging businesses today, this is recommended for business libraries of any size. (Index not seen.)?Littleton M. Maxwell, E.
