It’s time to introduce a disruptive innovation in workforce and business development and that is the purpose of this book.
The American Worker has been cut off and is adrift in the mainstream economy. In the spring of 2010 over 17% were unemployed, underemployed, trying to enter the job market for the first time or to re-enter after several years of separation. To that 17% I would add many others that do not have the needed technical skills, have lost hope and are no longer actively searching and the actual figure rises to well above 20%. The American Workers’ dreams of starting their own businesses are clouded in confusion and uncertainty. Dwarfing all of this is their concern for their long-term survival as a worker or entrepreneur in this volatile and unpredictable economy. There is a bewildering array of career directions to choose from but which ones will still be viable in two, three, or five years? Even though the economy may be rebounding there is a continuing concern for choosing a career path that offers some protection against another weak job market following upon the heels of a repeat of the economic disaster. They need help and advice.
At the same time the American Entrepreneur has been cut off and is adrift in the mainstream economy. Their biggest issue is whether or not their business idea has any staying power. Can their idea make money for them and if so, what is the best way to make it happen? If they think they are putting themselves in harms and at risk of their idea being replicated by an off-shore company, what should they do? What can they do? Can they leverage technology to insulate their business idea from the entry of new competitors? They need help and advice too!
Business incubation centers (BIC) are located in every state but the services they offer are more of the passive operational type of support than they are of the proactive strategic support that is needed. The Small Business Administration (SBA) was formed in 1953 and there are now over 1100 local Small Business Development Centers (SBDC). SBDCs offer consulting services using student teams under the guidance of faculty members but the services tend to be more cursory than meaningful. They need a support structure that creates a true partnership with them that is focused on the success of their business venture. They need an objective evaluation of their idea and strategic advice on how or even if they should proceed.
I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the interdependence between the American Worker and the American Entrepreneur. Many times they are the same person and have decided to launch their own business to get back into or enter for the first time the mainstream of the economy. Their needs range from the very fundamental understanding of business formation and development to a complete dependence on outside assistance. They need help and there isn’t any organized one-stop service they can turn to.
The primary market for this book is large - educators, trainers, human resource managers, career counselors, corporate university program managers, continuing education and workforce development directors and anyone who has a need for a practical and comprehensive approach to the career and professional development of the workforce so that they are ready to compete successfully. The major adoption will be at the managerial and administrative levels in designing, developing and implementing post-secondary training programs. The secondary market is the career and professional development needs of the individual. I will include career planning and professional development guidance and resources for them.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a GreatBookPrices, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
