Not your mother's life : changing the rules of work, love, and family
Call No. 305.42 P482n 2001
The next generation of women want a career and a life, but they don’t know how to get both. Not Your Mother's Life shows how today’s young women are uniquely poised to reach out and take—or create—the work-life balance that proved so elusive for the boomers. The key, Peters argues, is for women to use their newfound economic power to choose their lives instead of letting their lives choose them. Full of real-life examples of women who are doing it their own way, Not Your Mother's Life offers this new generation a vision of how to remake the work world according to their own needs—ultimately benefiting women and men.

The Business Plan Workbook
Call No. 658.4012 B278b 2005
The Business Plan Workbook has established itself as the essential guide to business planning for students and entrepreneurs alike.
Drawing on the experience, knowledge and expertise of the Enterprise Faculty within Cranfield School of Management, it brings together the processes and procedures required to write a business plan. With an emphasis on practicality, it contains 20 assignments with several worksheets and examples from the business plans of sucessful entrepreneurs. Cranfield has developed and tested this method of helping people to research and validate their business ideas, and then to write up a plan themselves, so the book itself is based on sound principles. Without a business plan, no bank or venture capital house will consider a loan for start-up or expansion, and the workbook contains the criticisms, warnings and experiences of investors as well as successful entrepreneurs.
