"Mastering Project Management" takes you beyond the basic tools for planning, scheduling, and control, and to the next level of project and more! It ensures that - whether you are employed specifically as a project manager or whether you have a critical project dropped in your lap at the last minute - you will be prepared to take control and guide each project to a successful finish. ##### This is the complete Small Business Valuation Library in one volume. 'The team of Pratt, Reilly, and Schweihs has done it again. This book contains so much useful information that practitioners with any level of experience must have it in their library. While the book itself is good, the bibliographies and resources cited give the practitioner a database full of information' - Gary R. Trugman, CPA, CBA, ASA, CFR, MVS Trugman Valuation Associates. 'The eagerly awaited third edition of "Valuing Small Businesses and Professional Practices" is a 'must have' for every valuation professional. In providing essential valuation theory and meaningful valuation instruction, this treatise is both a comprehensive reference source and a practical tool. No valuation professional should be without it!' - James L. (Butch) Williams, CPA, CVA Managing Director, Williams Taylor & Associates, P.C. 'This third and expanded edition of "Valuing Small Businesses and Professional Practices" is the most comprehensive, readable, and all-around best book ever written on the subject. Whether you are an apprentice or an experienced practitioner, this book is a must' - David M.Bishop, CBA, FIBA, ASA President, American Business Appraisers, Inc. 'I always look forward to receiving a copy of the update of "Valuing Small Businesses and Professional Practices". It provides us with helpful hints, current techniques, and the latest bibliographies of relevant topics. This book and "Valuing a Business" (by the same authors) are the most used references in our office' - James S. Rigby, Jr, ASA President, The Financial Valuation Group. For well over a decade, "Valuing Small Businesses and Professional Practices" has been the essential one-volume reference for performing accurate valuation analyses. Its detailed instructions have helped professionals value everything from 'mom-and-pop' operations to businesses worth $5 million or more. Times have changed, however, and new government regulations and legal practices create an environment where lack of current knowledge can be critical - and costly! For this reason, "Valuing Small Businesses and Professional Practices" is now completely revised and updated to include: more emphasis on the legal context in which valuations are performed; an entirely new chapter on value drivers and their impact on valuation methods; new chapters detailing discounts for lack of marketability, public company data, and comparative transaction databases; and, a greatly revised chapter on alternative dispute resolution, now broadened to explain increasingly popular mediation along with arbitration. When you want every detail on small business valuation, plus hundreds of sources where you can find courses, seminars, books, tapes, supporting quantitative data, and more on any subject, "Valuing Small Businesses and Professional Practices, Third Edition", remains the only comprehensive tool of its kind.
