Effective Small Business Management, 10th Edition, Norman M. Scarborough




Discover how to successfully launch and manage a small business.

Open your mind to the possibilities, challenges, and rewards of becoming a small business owner with Effective Small Business Management. This text provides readers with the tools they need in order to launch and manage a small business.

This edition features new and current examples, updated information on ethics and social responsibility, and several new pedagogical features.

This is a great book if your just getting into business, however if you already know the basics you may want to try something a little deeper. There are quite a few questions this book just won't answer so make sure you go to class. As a supplement to in class lectures and hands on study you will be able to gain alot from reading this text. It offers alot of valuable information in an easy to understand format. I hope you like reading though because it tends to get a little dry.

This book is an awesome read. It will cover most of the mistakes that small business owners tend to make. I have never been so impressed by a text book. This text is an easy read and you will walk away enlightened and heavily equipped to start your own business. Depending on your level of education and experience, you may be able to skip a few topics, but this book will come in handy for any business owner at any level. This book has blessed me beyond words.

I recently used this book for an online class I was taking at a local community. I regret not taking enough business classes while in college. This books is full information. If you pace yourself and read the chapters you'll know alot. You'll learn how to do business valuations, cash flow management etc. It assumes you have little business experience and gives you years of business school experience. I know as much or more then most business majors I stay in contact with when I graduated.

Compared to the previous version, this has removed the kinks or maintaining a good flow. You'll also learn the basics to a business plan and how to do real financial projections. This will make a contractor or small store owner; very powerful at growing and managing their business. I'm so glad I took this course that required the 9th version of the text. The previous class used the 8th and had problems comprehending the process and how to build off of things. The ninth is the best.

As the President and CEO of FranchiseInterviews.com, I have read many books relating to entrepreneurship. I think the authors did a fantastic job at writing this book. They use many examples and cases to help you easily understand the topics.

I highly recommend this book for aspiring entrepreneurs as well as schools that offer a program in entrepreneurship.
