Description
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking guide to making profitable business decisions Do you wonder why your value initiatives aren't providing the payoff you'd hoped for? Could it be because you've been thinking about value all wrong? According to the authors of this groundbreaking guide, there's a very good chance that you have.
Trade ReviewYou d think this book is a heavy read from finance buffs but they break down value so every business owner can measure exactly what value means to them (Talk Business, October 2013) The authors offer excellent guideposts for how to move toward blue line decision-making and how to detect the encroachment of red line behaviours (December 2013)
