In her new work, written for seasoned interior designers by a seasoned pro, Piotrowski goes beyond comparable books that cater largely to architects or that fail to fully address crucial personnel issues. In Interior Design Management, she covers the full range of nuts-and-bolts issues and skills that interior designers must master if their firms are going to succeed in today's fiercely competitive market.
Drawing on her years of practical business experience, Piotrowski offers interior designers proven advice on:
managing and organizing the office - including the basics of good decision making and dealing with crucial legal, financial, zoning, insurance, and tax matters. managing finances - with tips on basic accounting, financial statements, monitoring and reporting performance, and setting proper fees and prices. managing operations - insights into handling contracts, product budgeting, time management, and avoiding legal liability. creating sound marketing - from developing a marketing plan, to identifying prospects, to using promotional tools most effectively. Even more, for the first time in any book on interior design practice, Piotrowski addresses the Uniform Commercial Code and the sale of goods, the fundamentals of planning as it relates to interior design, and human resource management and personnel issues, including hiring and firing, job descriptions, evaluating workers, and motivating employees.Interior Design Management comes complete with 71 forms and documents that designers can adapt and use to better organize their own business, whether they have a small, medium-size, or large practice.
Christine Piotrowski knows that it take more than just interior design skills to make a firm successful in today's more challenging environment. Interior designers also have to get down to business.
With her new Interior Design Management, they can do just that - confidently and profitability.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
