Summary
More than even before, marketers need to justify their decisions by linking them to the corporate bottom line. While this is a challenging task, what makes it more daunting is the absence of a systematic approach and an overarching metric to help make financially sound marketing decisions.

Summary
This workbook is designed for CEOs, executives, and senior managers who have been assigned to a new position with sufficient authority, if not an explicit mandate, to enact change. My intent is to provide a foundation for how the executive can successfully introduce change into an organization by taking into account the various barriers erected when even the notion of change is first introduced. The workbook provides a basic introduction to the dynamics of organizations that must be understood in order to introduce change successfully.

Summary
One subject that is receiving a lot of attention is organizational change. Whether it is reinventing government, reengineering corporations, or reforming churches, all kinds of organizations are attempting major transformations. The pace of organizational change projects is perhaps only overshadowed by the number of books on the subject of organizational change. One only has to scan the business section of any local bookstore to see that there are numerous titles on the subject of organizational change. While each book may be interesting, the books often do not build on each other and sometimes develop contradictory ideas and concepts.

Summary
In the hard-fought business world, only one new business in 20 lives to see its fifth anniversary. Typical management books do not address the unique nuances of early-stage companies. Most entrepreneurial books often profile successful entrepreneurs or companies who are better known, which usually includes only the small percentage that achieve stratospheric success. Growing Your Own Business shares the secrets of long-term survival and success, detailing practical guidelines, and relevant "tales from the trenches" to help entrepreneurs tackle common concerns and obstacles. A welcome combination of first-person how-to advice and peer mentoring support, this comprehensive, essential resource book provides sound, battle-proven advice for developing effective sales and marketing strategies, managing employees, and navigating business cycles. Growing Your Own Business continues after the first book, Starting Your Own Business. This resource is designed to work as independent resource or integrate into business curriculums.

Summary
Corporate bankruptcy is becoming an increasingly important topic in today's turbulent environment. The bankruptcy decision can be a matter of life and death for the organization dealing with distress, but the impact of the phenomenon is magnified by the variety of business relationships in which companies typically are involved. Bankruptcy thus potentially affects customers, supply chain or network partners, managerial and nonmanagerial employees, landlords and many others in addition to the distressed organization. Understanding the bankruptcy process, therefore, can facilitate best-practice development and the protection of the organization's interests both before and after a bankruptcy petition. This book does not attempt to provide advice; each case is unique and should be addressed by competent legal counsel. Rather, this work is intended to provide an overview of the fundamental principles and processes of both Chapter 11 reorganizations and Chapter 7 liquidations, incorporating examples drawn from relevant legal decisions, research findings, and common experience to highlight the issues involved and provide a basis for discussion. In addition, the text covers the bankruptcy law implications of a number of special topic areas, including small business bankruptcies, governance issues, contractual agreements and obligations such as franchising and collective bargaining agreements, and newly emerging issues surrounding the use of derivatives.
