| This is an excellent introduction to business for young people. It is written clearly and concisely for ages 10 and up. At 63 pages, it will educate, but not overwhelm. The author says Anthony Maybury, with whom she collaborated, is "a wise and gentle guide for young people as they embark on their first journeys in business. Mr. Maybury uses practical judgment derived from experience rather than study, and provides real-world examples to explain common sense realities behind basic business principles, including: fixed and variable costs, market potential, research, price strategies, inventory management, salesmanship, and management techniques. He discusses characteristics needed to be a successful entrepreneur, manager, or employee." |
