    5 out of 5 stars His earlier book was good on planning........2003-06-10

    This review refers to McLaughlin's superb earlier edition The Entrepreneur's Guide To Building A Better Business Plan.

    More than a guide to developing a business plan I found this book provided practical input to planning a business in general. Unlike many texts dealing with this subject, this book has the practical tone of someone who had done it before. McLaughlin asks good questions and makes many suggestions with regard to addressing business strategy and tactical issues. He gets right into the detail of planning with an extensive chapter on writing department plans. Another chapter discusses partnering as a potential new business strategy. The book includes case studies, and discusses some particular examples of both business success and failure.

    McLaughlin is an engineer who was involved in the early days of the disk drive industry, and is one of the founders of the disk drive industry's trade association. He later became an industry analyst and published a weekly newsletter on the industry. The book evolved out of work done in writing his doctoral thesis.

    Though many of the sources are now dated, the book includes a bibliography useful to business planning including sources on market research, writing business plans, and reading financial statements.

    I would recommend this book to anyone planning a new business or overhauling an existing business or division. Too bad the book is no longer in print, however I found that my local public library had copies.

    1 out of 5 stars Book content doesn't worth its value.......2005-07-06

    This book has very little useful information. It only brieftly mention practices in running a small business. Reader need to do their own research or refer to other book to get full scope of information. For example: under the consumer protection topic, the book mention that government has a federal trade commission to protect consumers from unfair businesses practices. It then list two website links for regulations information. The book doesn't worth its value. It is overprice for the contents it offer to reader. Try to avoid purchasing this book as you can!

    5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT TEXTBOOK!!!!.......2005-11-07

    This was a required text for my Small Business Management class. I am usually not too fond of textbooks. But this one really sparked my interest. If there were ever a step-by-step guide for starting your own company, this is it. It is very easy to understand. It was written in clear English without any severely technical terms, so you don't feel like you need your MBA before you read the thing. Anything remotely complicated, it breaks down into realy simple terms. I really enjoyed this book. Its not very often you come acroos a textbook you wouldn't mind reading even if you're not taking the class.

    5 out of 5 stars Most informative book in 8 years of business college.......1996-10-15

    This book fully explains how to start a real entrepreneurial venture and make it a success! The author is the best expert in the field. I was introduced to this book through an instructor who had made this book required reading for a credit class. Instead of wasting hundreds of dollars on some seminar to start a small business, purchase and use this book to discover how much success you can achieve by thinking "outside" of the box. Launch a venture that can give real financial support to you and your employees. Who knows, you may be the next Bill Gates just needing some basic tools to start. Here are those tools. ..........

            This book is practical, and includes real life situations. My students found it not only interesting because of the authors writing style,but because they could understand the pitfalls and other minefields that they will have to face when they enter the field of business. I think the author did an excellent job.
