good starting point.......2001-01-09

Great book on the basics of writing a professional business plan for any small company. For anyone who's starting a business for the first time or is sitting down to write his or her first business plan, this is among the most useful books to turn to. The chapters for the most part walk the reader through the various section of the business plan and there are examples of actual plans following the author's guide in the appendixes to the book. There are also worksheets and a useful glossary. The writing is clear and a good starting point.

Excellent Resource for Experienced and New Businesses.......2000-10-27

Veteran business owners and new entrepreneurs can derive immediate benefit from Anatomy of a Business Plan. It is THE book to get your fast-growing venture or franchise on track, and to secure significant financial rewards. Anatomy presents the strategy and elements of a Business Plan to guide both product and service-oriented companies,from major organizations to small partnerships. The financials in this book are the most comprehensive I have seen. If you're looking for the template to take to the bank for a loan, or seeking a management tool, Anatomy is the key.

Good, but rather simple........2000-06-10

Good ideas, well organized, but a bit simple. If you want to start something more complex than a simple "mom & pop feel" type business you need go elsewhere.

A very clear, very "reader friendly", step-by-step guide........2000-04-06

There are numerous books on business plans on the market, but Linda Pinson and Jerry Jinnett's Anatomy Of A Business Plan is one of the clearest: it provides a step-by-step guide to writing the plan and building the business, and appears here in its 4th edition to provide all the details in building - and changing - a business plan.

A good, helpful read.......1999-11-25

I found this book to helpful for my Internet startup business. I would highly recommend it over other so-called "high-tech" business plan books. Well done!

Staggeringly Inept!.......2001-07-16

NLP has a lot to offer in the field of education and training, and in the right hands this could have been an outstanding book. Unfortunately, these were all too obviously NOT the right hands.

My first doubts regarding the book were aroused by the cover blurb statement:

"For the first time NLP and Training methods are brought together in a well-researched, easy-to-read practical handbook."
Excuse me? "For the first time..."? I don't think so!
The Effective Delivery... wasn't published until 1997, which leaves it some way behind front runners such as "Training with NLP" (1994) and "The Excellent Trainer" (1996).

I was also unimpressed with the claim that the is "well-researched"? By whom? Apart from the sections on learning styles and humour, almost every single one of the references to scientific studies is mirrored in the bibliography of "The Learning Brain" (Eric Jensen, 1994). Is it pure coincidence that Garratt only acknowledges Jensen as his source in those cases where Jensen himself hasn't given a detailed reference?

Thirdly, I'm also extremely wary of anyone who claims to be concerned about people yet describes employees as HR (Human Resources!). This is a euphemism born in the same maternity ward as "down-sizing", "business process re-engineering" and the rest of the jargon of the early 90s designed to make it emotionally easier for managers to announce mass firings, sorry - major redundancy programmes.

To be quite blunt, the book seems to be based on the assumption that if you make enough of the "right noises" some of it is bound to make sense. Not exactly of the kind of 'elegant' solution that NLP is intended to produce, and certainly not a very impressive demonstration of the skills the book purports to teach.

Not surprisingly, then, the book frequently makes exactly the kind of mistakes that any experienced and skilled trainer (regardless of their knowledge of NLP) would avoid like the plague. For example:

- The intended audience for the book is never specified
- NLP jargon is almost always introduced without explanation. Indeed, on one notable occasion the author goes so far as to say, in so many words: 'You won't understand this but I'm going to tell you anyway'!
- The reader is frequently instructed to do things they obviously cannot do (e.g. an exercise that includes the instruction to "Use all the available NLP techniques..." when not one technique has yet been described)
- Many of the alleged explanations don't actually explain anything at all unless you already know enough NLP not to need the explanation.

As to the way that the book covers specific aspects of NLP:

- There is one brief reference to 'closure', but key skills like nested metaphors/nested loops are never mentioned, let alone explained
- On the subject of meta programs, 'convincer modes' are only mentioned as an afterthought (described as 'convincer patterns'), and 'convincer channels' aren't mentioned at all!
- The text regularly features examples of negative re-inforcement such as "This is actually harder than it sounds" ...
- ... and even the basic skill of framing instructions in the positive ("Do do abc") rather than the negative ("Don't do xyz") seems to be a skill too advanced to be included in this book. etc., etc.

One further criticism concerns the incredibly high rate of redundancy in the text. Apparently working on the basis of "tell them what you're going to tell them; tell them; then tell them what you've told them", great chunks of the text are repeated both in the so-called "exercises" AND in the chapter summaries.
On an actual training course this approach makes sense. In a book, where the reader can backtrack whenever they want, and as often as they want, this simply means that the basic information accounts for as little as 50% of the total text - if that.

So my difficulty in recommending this book can be summed up quite simply:

If you are a trainer with little or no previous knowledge of NLP then this book is so poorly presented it is more likely to confuse than enlighten.
And if you already have a reasonable grounding in NLP, this text will tell you nothing you don't already know.

In the final analysis, when compared with an alternative, such as O'Connor and Seymour's excellent "Training with NLP" this book comes across as amateurish, and vastly overpriced (even in the cheaper paperback format).

A good resource for NLPers.......2001-05-08

The book seems to aim at anyone giving training, even those without any NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) background. It must have been a daunting challenge for Ted Garratt to condense so much NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner level material into the book, with additional related resources, such as learning styles, humour, Eric Jensen's brain-based learning... The content is very rich. Those with a fair amount of background in NLP already can use this book for revision and they'll find many examples of how NLP can be applied in training. I still wish there could be more examples, and even cartoons and a much more lively editing format. For the NLP illiterates, I'd not recommend this book till they get other introductions first, like David Molden's books.

A good practical guide to NLP-enhanced training.......2001-01-19

Are you a trainer or do you need to train people in your profession? NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, can be a great help to understanding how your audience is learning and how you can better help them absorb the subject material.

Mr. Garrat's book contains a lot of good NLP techniques for gauging and reaching your clients and examples of how to use those techniques in a training environment. Your clients will get more out of every training session and retain more of what they've learned in the long run.

If you're a trainer and you want to do the best for your clients, then this is definitely a book for you. If you want an overall introduction to NLP for more general application, take a look for 'Mindworks', another excellent book...

Book Description

Knowledge Capitalism probes the surface of contemporary economic and social change, revealing how the shift to a knowledge-based economy is redefining firms, empowering individuals, and reshaping the links between learning and work. Using economic, management and knowledge-based theories, supported by empirical data and illustrations from leading companies, Knowledge Capitalism describes the emergence of a new breed of capitalist, one dependent on knowledge rather than physical resources. The author argues that industrial-era models of firm-market boundaries, work arrangements, and ownership and control are inhibiting firms and individuals success in the emerging knowledge economy. New models are proposed based on knowledge-centred organisation, knowledge-led growth, and knowledge supply as distinct from labour supply or flexible employment. Continuous learning is shown to be critical to firms as integrators of disparate knowledge resources, and the only practical route for individuals to become free agents. Knowledge Capitalism illuminates the new business landscape and provides a practical tool-set for business practitioners and theorists to interpret and manage change in a rapidly deconstructing economic environment.

Customer Reviews:

Tremendous book. A great reference........2001-09-24

Burton-Jones' account of the knowledge based economy is the best I have found. I've nearly finished my PhD and have read many books! Most books by academics while good for my thesis yield few useful insights for practice. Unfortunately books written by practitioners are mostly useless. They are too light weight to add any value at all (not just for me, my consulting friends tell me the same thing!). This book strikes a great middle-road. Burton-Jones is a practitioner but he seems to have read everything academics have read! It's original, well researched, well written, and carefully argued enough to be very useful for my research and teaching while still practical enough be a great reference for managers. I particularly liked Burton-Jones' Knowledge Supply Model, his Knowledge Growth Model of the firm, and his clear 'Implications' sections concluding his chapters. It's a great book. If you want an introduction to the knowledge economy it is perfect. If you are serious about the knowledge economy or knowledge management, it should be on your bookshelf (or your desk). If you teach knowledge management or economics (particularly in grad school/MBA), get it.

A Good Read!.......2001-04-17

This book falls squarely into the apocalyptic tradition of business literature. It preaches the end of the world, and exhorts readers to repent and prepare for a new world unlike anything they have known. Burton-Jones has absorbed, organized and presented a mass of data to support his message. The data themselves are worth the price of the book, because they provide ample raw material from which to draw one's own conclusions about the validity of the author's thesis. He has trademarked certain key phrases in the book, and the frequent appearance of the superscript "TM" is a helpful reminder to the reader to remember that this book is at least in part a sales pitch for a consultancy practice. But it is nonetheless important to read this book because while Burton-Jones may be wrong about some things, he is clearly right that a big global economic change is underway, and he sets forth in clear, if colorless, prose a reasonably plausible explanation of what it is and why it is happening. We [...] recommend the book to owners, managers, individuals, students, teachers, and policy-makers.
