Publication date January 1997

This has been a tour of the business landscape, seeking to communicate the main issues associated with business to technical professionals, specifically engineers. The focus has naturally been on entrepreneurs and management teams, but much of the analysis and presentation is also relevant to those having to manage business units in larger corporations. In this case the issues are often the same, but the upside and downside associated with actual ownership of the business are not there, except in a contained form expressed by rewards in the form of bonuses and other career advancement issues.
