From Booklist
Designed as a nuts-and-bolts guide to business jargon for students and nonspecialists, this work will help users understand the complex world of U.S. business, the largest economy in the world. Five general areas of business are covered: accounting, economics, finance, management, and marketing. Terms, concepts, laws, and institutions defined were drawn from two sources, the Wall Street Journal and "principles" texts used in introductory courses. Sample entries include Deming's 14 points, Interlocking directorate, National Industrial Recovery Act, Underground economy, and World Bank. Entries are short, generally a page or less. Many entries have one or two further reading suggestions, which are often very current and frequently refer readers to URLs. Entries often are followed by see also... |

Book Description
A one-stop reference for in-depth explanations of mortgage topics With the creation of so many new, complex mortgage programs, it's difficult for consumers --not to mention real estate agents, attorneys, closing agents, and mortgage brokers--to keep track of them all. Written by nationally syndicated real estate columnist Jack Guttentag, The Mortgage Encyclopedia helps readers understand the various mortgage terms, features, and options by offering clear, precise explanations. The alphabetical organization of terms makes it easy to quickly find information on any topic, from FHA, Investor, and No-PMI Loans to Origination Fee and Rate Float.

From Library Journal
Covering accounting, management, marketing, law, finance, and economics, this set aims "to summarize the body of knowledge that we know as business in a single place and in language accessible to the layperson." Special emphasis is placed on careers and ethics in various areas of business, such as "Careers in Finance" and "Ethics in Finance." The 300-plus alphabetically arranged entries do more than simply define a term; for example, the entry for accounting also describes its history, principles, and agencies, shows how students can enter the profession, and provides cross references to related topics such as "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." All the entries are in fact cross-referenced and include bibliographies offering print resources and web sites. In addition to business terms,... |

From Publishers Weekly
In the mid-1980s, business professionals from a variety of fields were asked what percentage of the knowledge necessary for their jobs they had stored in their heads. The average answer was 75%; today, it's a fraction of that. What's needed now is business intelligence, business literacy and business wisdom strengths often innate, but more often learned. In his introduction, Goleman says intelligence is distributed: a manager doesn' t need to know it all; she just needs to know how to learn it when she needs it. Like a business library between two covers, this exhaustive reference offers a no-frills, serious approach to achieving the trifecta: in seven sections, over 200 contributors from Warren Bennis to Peter Drucker offer insights, information, and practical guidance on every aspect of management.

Book Review
The modern conundrum: while the art of letter writing is fast extinguishing, the need for expressive, impressive, appropriate letters is as great as ever. The result? A mortifying amount of miserable missives that sadly miss the mark. E-mail informality is all very well for one's sister in Toledo or one's colleague three cubicles down, but when one needs to promote a product or raise funds, seek a job or request a favor, effectively complain, apologize, or reprimand, or send a letter of condolence, the typically confident and competent achiever gets noodly in the knees. Write a thank-you letter? The prospective correspondent is suddenly busy cleaning his or her desk and organizing the office files. All you really need is a template to show you the way, and that's where Harold Meyer's Lifetime Encyclopedia of Letters... |

This encyclopedia, edited by a professor of history at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, analyzes the African American business experience from the 1600s to the present through three main types of entries: biographies, topics in black business history, and black participation in selected industries.

Book Description
African Americans historically have played a role in shaping the economic development of their race and of the country, though only recently have they received attention in this regard. Current representation of African Americans in some of corporate America's top positions and as owners of technology companies reflect current trends in society and is a step toward closing the racial gap. This two-volume reference work provides students and general readers easy access to information on African American business leaders, companies, associations, and other business subjects. Written by more than 50 contributors, entries discuss both historical and contemporary figures and topics that help illustrate the occupations and businesses of blacks throughout history.

Moreover, because the Encyclopedia emphasizes the broader context of Japanese business and management, the volume should be considered for general reference collections in research libraries."
