This is how IT is done!: A Brief Look at a few business measurements - Paperback

by Bernardo Antonio Maristany (Author)

This book intends to help small business owners. Many business owners, such as Medical Doctors, suddenly find out they are in business and they are making a lot of money. But they have never received any education in microeconomics.

This book teaches quickly how to do Economic Evaluations suitable for correct business decisions. It is a misconception that Accounting is a good tool for business decision making. It is not. Accounting, mixed with a few Economic ideas, is catastrophic. Sorry Accountants

A correct Economic Evaluation depends less in the correct use of Algorithms that in digging out accurate data for the analysis. Normally, about 85 percent of the effort goes to obtaining accurate data to input in the variables of the Algorithm.
