Business: The Ultimate Resource

There is no other book like Business: The Ultimate Resource. Daniel Goleman did an incredible amount of work to put this together. It's physically by far the biggest book I own. The business resources accumulated in this book are beyond belief unless you see it for yourself.This is not a book to read like most books. It's just too big for one. The index alone is enormous. This is a reference book, and it just seems that everything in the category of business, a large category indeed, is there. All the names of major thinker, doers and authors are referenced. Lists of all manner for everything from human resources management to accounts payable are provided.Considering the price used, this is a great purchase providing you have space for it. It will not fit in a lot of places where one normally puts books. Nothing else has so much information on the subject either.I think this giant book is impractical for most people considering its weight, although it certainly has tons of good information.

Nice product.

I recommend Business: The Ultimate Resource for all business students and professionals needing an edge within the industry. A thorough insight of business from people/culture to marketing to management to international trade are presented from cover to cover. The purchase of this textbook will be a reward to yourself.

Good book, very thorogh, very comprehensive, and as such-- will take years to read, or even leaf through, and very heavy to hold or handle....

The size of this book is indeed intimidating. Fortunately, the content indeed matches well with its heaviness. This is the most complete business reference book I'd ever seen. The book is well organized. Topics are well arranged. Articles were written by wellknown experts in the world of business. This is a book that will be valuable for any organization. It's a must-have reference for your organization's library.

This book is worth every penny you pay for it and then some!

"Business: The Ultimate Resource" takes the reader through a very thorough exposition of business in all of its forms. Although it is a huge book with a table of contents larger than many business book indexes, it is well organized and easy to use. The primary divisions of the book include sections on Best Practice (various essays from business leaders), Management and Action Checklists (detailed lists of each step to implement or calculate various items), Management Library (summaries of the most influential business books), Business Thinkers and Management Giants (profiles of business leaders), Business Dictionary, World Business Almanac, and Business Information Sources (including addresses, phone numbers, web sites, etc. for additional help and/or information).Some of the articles that are on the cutting edge of current business thought include Managing 21st Century Financials, Integrating Real and Virtual Strategies, Making B2B Your New Operational Standard, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership, and Managing Dynamic Change.Checklists include lists in various categories including People Management, Personal Effectiveness (including excellent checklists on effective communication), HR/Training, Marketing, Operations, Small Business, Business Planning, E-Commerce, Personal Development, Accounting and Finance (includes how to calculate just about any accounting ratio or value that you would need).The Management Library book summaries are well done in a format that gives the background on the book along with the key points made in the book. It includes such business classics as Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" and Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" to more current thought such as "Blur" by Stan Davis and Christopher Meyer. Although this is a book published in 2002, the most recent summary is on a book published in 1998. So it does not contain summaries of the more recent books, but the summaries of books prior to 1999 are excellent.In short, instead of providing information on a limited aspect of business (such as management or accounting or personnel) it provides a comprehensive understanding of business as a whole. An excellent reference for any business professional, the price makes it a steal and a recommended buy.

This is book with a big title to live up to and does so stunningly well.I first came across it whilst browsing in a bookshop in Covent Garden between meetings.

This book may be immense in size and weight, but it is all worth it! It is all you'll ever need to help with entreprenuership, leadership, general business matters,marketing,...

Picked up on a lot of great new concepts in business enterprise. The entrepreneurial partsare sound. A good read.

I loved reading this book. Was excellent reading during the 4th of July.

This book is massive and holds a wealth of information unsurpassed by any management/business book I've encountered.

Despite being so big (which makes it unusable as a quick reference), this book attempts to cover so many areas of business that it just skims the surface of most of the areas that...

Ce gigantesque livre contient une foule d'informations sur le monde des affaires. Je le recommande fortement car si vous devez possèder seulement un livre sur le sujet et bien...
