The Business Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained

Wonderful book, full of pictures and entities in which allows one to better understand business. BUSINESS 101 would be a higher educational value, as many classes go over many ways of which to get a business started, it's not easy however, many problems occur when one is starting a business of ones own, taking much time of which can be eliminated by entering the world of business through a University and or planned endeavor. I.E. Accounting, Psychology, Energy levels of employee's, as well as supplies and various situations of which one will run into. Where do I get the keys to the building of which my business will conduct itself, most people speak of grants, while others speak of loans, leaving one in a hole so to speak. It's not easy but can be done with the help and aid of the community.

This book is,a nice light read, presenting various Businesses topics in concise little chapters you can read in five to ten minutes. I picked this up to gain some general Business vocabulary and concepts before starting a graduate Business degree.

The book successfully covers multiple aspects in relation to how organisations should handle their internal management in order to optimize their throughput and simplify their processes as to innovate and build high quality, low cost solutions focused towards opportune markets that would allow them to prosper and grow (mouthful)

Great Book. This book explains many business concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Some concepts are obvious but none the less you can still learn from them. I recommend this book along with other DK Adult books as they are all very good.

Great business book to explain the basics to a reader that wants to understand. Reads like a textbook at times.

Amazing Book.

I've only gotten through about 1/4 of the book, and I've already learned a lot about business and many of its important topics. I'm a relative novice when it comes to business, so this may be a walk through the park for some pro's or advanced readers. Illustrations are nice and helpful, and the style is clean. There are more than a couple typos throughout the book, but I'm not that critical of books anyways. The only thing I question about this book is its structure. As a novice, I wonder why some topics are brought up before others, and vise-versa. I can't say this is a detriment to the book, just a personal curiosity.

I am obsessed with DK Publishing and just about everything they put out. I am in college as a business major and I find this to be the ultimate refresher when writing papers. If you are new to business or just want to explore the science, this is the book for you. Truly a must buy book!

Loved the book so much

I'm an international student hier in Germany and I'm studying BWL (business administration). It has helped me understand better the basics when I didn't quite understand it in German. This book really helps you understand concepts from starting a business to manage big Enterprises with strategies developed through the years by famous managers/economists/psychologists. This book helps you have a glance at the business world. It will answer questions like "how does a business grow?" "is it always good if a company grows?" "is money the most important motivational force?" There are so many questions that you will answer yourself and many of them that you didn't actually asked yourself before. Actual examples of modern companies and products make it also more interesting for the modern learner. I'm sure this book won't disappoint you if what you are looking for is to understand better how business works and the theories that can be applied to it and influence the way business are made (effectively).

Older versions of this book came with a sleeve, I guess they stopped that in more recent issues. Its a fine book, with high quality printing and a very digestible method for complex topics. Not only can this medium sized, textured, hard covered book serve as a coffee table decoration, but it also equally has amazing information that is not only specialized, but arguably important for anyone in business to know at least on a surface level. Its not a textbook level content dense but its also not one of those like "Business 101" books that just explains what a business is. Its a good in-between and arguably one of the better ways to digest this sort of thing. I like it.

Very nice book and very insightful

Must read for alpha and gen z
