For you, we adapt the traditional financial management themes emphasized in corporate financial management courses to meet the needs of small businesses. Many financial managers of small businesses come from farms or agribusinesses. Others are interested in working for or starting businesses in the food or retail sectors. In most cases, these businesses aren’t organized as C-corporations impacting things like taxes, depreciation, and legal requirements around compiling and reporting financial data. They are rarely publicly traded which creates unique constraints to raising debt and equity capital and calculating required risk-adjusted returns.9542021-01-30T21:25:40Z2024-01-22T14:52:23ZBusiness Writing Style Guide<img alt="Read more about Business Writing Style Guide" title="Business Writing Style Guide cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjAxNCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--d260171ff5a656f589bfb6234ce47776c5618728/Title-Page-Business-Writing-Style-Guide-350x453.png" />It is the goal of this book to help students do the following:• Apply basic concepts for effective and concise business writing.• Compile a well written report acceptable within a business context.• Follow a writing process designed for business students.• Demonstrate critical thinking, reasoning, and persuasion.• Communicate in writing using a business model.• Apply resources for improving business writing skills.12192022-08-19T17:50:12Z2024-03-05T23:06:50ZConstruction Contracting: Business and Legal Principles, Second Edition - Second Edition<img alt="Read more about Construction Contracting: Business and Legal Principles, Second Edition - Second Edition" title="Construction Contracting: Business and Legal Principles, Second Edition - Second Edition cover image" class="cover " width="383" height="495" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzg2OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--2df7e348e56bcfc405ee4caf71a04699cf95afa2/Cover-ConstructionContracting(sm).jpg" />This introduction to construction contracting as it applies to typical, every-day situations explains “theoretical” ideas in terms of what really happens in practice.

This book introduces students to the basic ideas of translation while addressing frequent pain points that recur when working bidirectionally. Additionally, a focus is placed on fostering metacognitive skills by encouraging creative translation from real-world environments such as narration, business, advertising, specialized contexts (including inclusive and queer language), and in situations when there are no clear translations available, such as sci-fi and fantasy works. Chapters alternate between Spanish and English as the languages of discussion, thus providing an equitable challenge for native speakers of both languages.16082024-03-04T00:21:52Z2024-03-04T00:21:52ZPrinciples of Strategic Management Accounting<img alt="Read more about Principles of Strategic Management Accounting" title="Principles of Strategic Management Accounting cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="529" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEyMjksInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--28c297825529633d7cf50b02d9f26e3099cb6e34/Principles-of-Strategic-Management-Accounting-cover-350x529.png" />This textbook explains the economic and sociological principles that underpin the use of strategic management accounting practices in organisations. Each chapter of the first part starts with a gentle, conversational introduction to the insights of one strand of academic literature and applies the insights to modern performance measurement and evaluation practices. The following parts apply the principles to specific accounting tools such as the budget, cost accounting, and the balanced scorecard. The textbook can be used in an advanced management accounting undergraduate unit or a post-graduate unit to give students a firm grounding to analyse measurement and evaluation practices in modern organisations. The textbook is meant to be a jumping off point for students and prepare them to analyse case studies and technical articles on strategic management accounting.
