Description

A cliche it may be but we are living in ever more turbulent times. Business decision-making has become more challenging and unpredictable than ever: we see unforeseen and often cataclysmic changes in consumer demand, both at home and in export markets; customers continue to demand more, more quickly and for less; new laws and regulations abound; competitors steal loyal customers; and, increasingly, the advice that once could be found from a ‘Small Business Adviser’ has been replaced by a call centre.
Uncomplicated and jargon free to appeal to the SME director or manager who has little time to read
Can be used as a continuous read or a source of ides for dealing with the day-to-day problems of running and growing a small business
Based on the practical experience of the authors with examples taken from consulting practice
