The Business Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained (DK Big Ideas)

Wonderful book, full of pictures and entities in which allows one to better understand business. BUSINESS 101 would be a higher educational value, as many classes go over many ways of which to get a business started, it's not easy however, many problems occur when one is starting a business of ones own, taking much time of which can be eliminated by entering the world of business through a University and or planned endeavor. I.E. Accounting, Psychology, Energy levels of employee's, as well as supplies and various situations of which one will run into. Where do I get the keys to the building of which my business will conduct itself, most people speak of grants, while others speak of loans, leaving one in a hole so to speak. It's not easy but can be done with the help and aid of the community.

I've only gotten through about 1/4 of the book, and I've already learned a lot about business and many of its important topics. I'm a relative novice when it comes to business, so this may be a walk through the park for some pro's or advanced readers. Illustrations are nice and helpful, and the style is clean. There are more than a couple typos throughout the book, but I'm not that critical of books anyways. The only thing I question about this book is its structure. As a novice, I wonder why some topics are brought up before others, and vise-versa. I can't say this is a detriment to the book, just a personal curiosity.

The book successfully covers multiple aspects in relation to how organisations should handle their internal management in order to optimize their throughput and simplify their processes as to innovate and build high quality, low cost solutions focused towards opportune markets that would allow them to prosper and grow (mouthful)

Amazing Book.

Great business book to explain the basics to a reader that wants to understand. Reads like a textbook at times.

This book is,a nice light read, presenting various Businesses topics in concise little chapters you can read in five to ten minutes. I picked this up to gain some general Business vocabulary and concepts before starting a graduate Business degree.

The book does two things great. It takes the sound bite of a philosophy and leads the chapter with it. This help you to know whether to spend time on it or not and it shows graphs of the concepts being described. It's a great learning tool.

Good info
