Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What does it cost a small business to make five ordinary decisions by gut feeling instead of by the numbers This book puts a real number on each of the five decisions every small business makes: what to sell, where to operate, how much to produce, what order to do the work in, and how much stock to keep on hand. Every chapter follows one small business through one decision, using nothing harder than arithmetic and a spreadsheet you probably already have open.Inside, you'll find: - A decision-tree method showing a bakery owner that a $500 product test was worth $1,810 more than deciding without it.- A break-even calculation that would have shown a repair shop owner the $28,000-a-year cost of picking a quiet street over a busier one to save $6,000 in rent.- Three staffing strategies costed side by side, the way a landscaping crew compares a $48,500 plan against a $62,600 one instead of guessing how many workers to keep through a slow season.- Scheduling rules and a Gantt chart that turn 'which job goes first' into a plan you can defend to a client - the kind of rule that would have kept a $4,000-a-year account from leaving over one missed deadline.- A reorder point formula that catches an empty shelf before it costs another $340 sale.Written for small business owners, new managers, office staff who support an operations team, and business students who want these methods explained in plain language before a lecture covers them. No business degree or statistics background required.Five decisions. Five real numbers. A method for each one you can run before you finish your coffee.…
