It showcases an in-depth intellectual analysis of family business insights alongside a comprehensive collection of cases, examples and questions that stimulate discussion and debate. It is a must read for anyone interested to understand more about how family firms function, why they matter and what makes them unique worldwide." Dr. Allan Discua Cruz, Director, Centre for Family Business, Lancaster University, UK"Family Business Management is an essential book that provides a rare insight into the dynamics of family businesses in the Arab Gulf region and beyond. A significant part of the material is dedicated to fundamental matters, such as succession planning, that are often overlooked in the Arab Gulf region. As family businesses continue to gain prominence in local and regional economies, this book offers business family members, economists, and academics a clearer guide to understand these important institutions."Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, Lecturer, Bard College Berlin and Fellow at Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin – Institute for Advanced Study"Being a third-generation family business executive, I have benefited from Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Basco’s advice on numerous occasions regarding succession, governance, and conflict management. I believe this book will help different generations of family members navigate their unique journeys and reflect on the most important issues, such as governance, succession planning, and family transparency, among others."Saud Majid AlQasimi, CEO, Al Saud Co."A world-renowned scholar coming from a family business background, Rodrigo Basco curates a thoughtful journey to greatly inspire family business leaders, practitioners, and all other learners. Gradually moving from managing family dynamics to governance and succession, the text demystifies complexities of family businesses and offers critical and actionable insights into planning and strategizing for families in transition. The global selection of real cases, coupled with carefully themed discussions and learning activities, is of enormous benefit to the family business community.

Taylor & Francis How to Build Buy and Sell a Small Business
Book SynopsisSmall business owners do not have the time or resources to consult with so-called âbusiness expertsâ every time a particular issue comes up. It just takes too long for an âoutsiderâ to understand their particular business niche. Clearly, legal and accounting issues need professional support.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Global Entrepreneur
Book SynopsisFollowing the 2008 global financial crisis, entrepreneurship has never been more vital. As jobs were lost from large organizations, most new jobs came from innovative startups. The lure of hi-tech has attracted many people who see themselves as future entrepreneurs, but who lack the perspective of the total experience. To meet this demand, community colleges and universities across the world have set up entrepreneurship courses.The Global Entrepreneur is a life-changing book. To leave the comfort of a steady job and enter the tumultuous world of the entrepreneur is a major and often fearful step. For those who are contemplating this change, or who have already embarked upon this exciting venture, reassurance based on the experience of both successful and even not so successful entrepreneurs can be invaluable.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Business Intelligence for Small and MediumSized
Book SynopsisBusiness intelligence (BI) has evolved over several years as organizations have extended their online transaction processing (OLTP) capabilities and applications to support their routine operations. With online analytical processing (OLAP), organizations have also established the capability to extract internal and external data from a variety of sources to specifically obtain intelligence about non-routine and often less-structured arrangements. BI therefore refers to applications and technologies that are used to gather, provide access to, and analyze data and information about the operations of an organization. It has the capability of providing comprehensive insight into the more volatile factors affecting the business and its operations, thereby facilitating enhanced decision-making quality and contributing to the creation of business value. Larger and more sophisticated organizations have long been exploiting these capabilities. Business Intelligence for Small and Medium-SizTable of Contents1. Introduction.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The War on Small Business
Book SynopsisFor years, government bureaucrats have been looking for ways to destroy small businesses. In reality, government is the problem.In The War on Small Business, entrepreneur Carol Roth unveils the many abuses of power inflicted on small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.Trade Review“One of the great tragedies of the pandemic is the way it was utilized by governments to crush the dreams of small-business owners, who were treated as selfish afterthoughts by power-hungry politicians. In this book, Carol Roth details just how our political class abandoned small-business owners in favor of cronies. It’s a vital book.” — Ben Shapiro, bestselling author of How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps and The Authoritarian Moment “For all the pretending that it aims to do the opposite, the government has worked to weaken small business for decades. In retrospect, it should be no great surprise that small businesses bore a disproportionate brunt of the COVID-19 shutdowns. In The War on Small Business, Carol Roth breaks down with agonizing precision how politicians propped up powerful corporations while turning their backs on the little guy.” — Sharyl Attkisson, bestselling author of Slanted “It’s no secret that the pandemic has left a lasting and devastating impact on small businesses across America. Leave it to Carol Roth to say lots of those businesses didn’t die. They were murdered, by a deliberate and targeted war on their independence and very livelihoods. She lays bare the concerted carving up of our capitalist ideals and free market, meticulously planned, ruthlessly delivered. Be warned, this book is not for the faint of heart, but it is must-reading for those who still have a heart.” — Neil Cavuto, anchor and senior vice president of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network “In The War on Small Business, Carol Roth exposes how Congress let its desire for central planning and payback for their wealthiest supporters supersede their duty to serve the majority of the US electorate. Those who needed assistance least got more, and those who truly needed help saw their chance at the American Dream vanish as the ‘fourteen days to flatten the curve’ dragged on for nearly a year, closing hundreds of thousands of small businesses forever. It’s a story Stephen King could have written, but it would have been too dark a tale for the horror master.” — Jon Najarian, cofounder of Market Rebellion and CNBC contributor “Carol Roth is one of the nation’s most thoughtful financial minds. When California passed AB5—the disastrous law that crippled independent contracting and small business—Carol was one of the few national personalities sounding the alarm. Carol doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the dire situation facing American small businesses and freelancers, but she never fails to add a layer of hope. The American Dream is under duress, but this book shines a light in the dark places that need to be illuminated so that small-business America can start dreaming once more.” — Kira Davis, host of Just Listen to Yourself and editor-at-large of Redstate “As a restaurant owner, I had a front-row seat to the destruction of small businesses throughout the pandemic. I watched as two sets of rules were doled out—one for massive corporations and a separate, more oppressive set for those struggling ‘mom and pop’s. The War on Small Business is such a valuable read, as Carol Roth gives you an honest and detailed look at how quickly a level playing field can be destroyed as government taints the free market with corporate preference.” — Andrew Gruel, CEO of Slapfish Restaurant Group and television host

It's an action-packed tale, complete with waterborne grudge matches, on-deck shootouts, fierce winter storms and suspenseful escapes. * The Washington Post *[A] colorful, comprehensive, and valuable piece of Americana. -- Peter Matthiessen, novelist and non-fiction writer, twice winner of the National Book AwardThe world has almost run out of fish, as modern technology strips our oceans bare.

Chris White’s brilliant use of the waterman’s vernacular and his intimate knowledge of multiple generations of watermen combine to make this an excellent treatise on a culture that is clearly disappearing. -- Gilbert M.
