How to Organize and Operate a Small Business: Sixth Edition
by Clifford Mason Baumback & Kenneth Lawyer 

This comprehensive practical discussion of the principles and problems of small business management covers all the essential topics in two logical parts.

The first half explains step-by-step how to establish a new business, and the second half examines the operating problems faced by entrepreneurs in an ongoing small business enterprise.

Within this broad structure the authors examine such vital considerations as the role of the small business in the economy, characteristics of the successful entrepreneur, the decision to go into business for oneself, and the probabilities of success.

Each chapter stresses the fundamentals basic to the organization and operation of all types of businesses while taking into account the various ways in which they apply to specific types of businesses.

Among the most useful items included here are: a complete checklist for organizing and operating a business, sources of information on starting and managing over 80 types of businesses, and in-depth coverage of records systems.

Complete with the latest information on such crucial concerns as credit regulations and enforcement of anti-discrimination and equal-opportunity laws, this is an up-to-date, indispensable guide for anyone about to start, or already coping with, the management of a small business.
