CUPERTINO, CA (PR Web) –September 27, 2011 – It is no secret that small business powers America and its job creation. Defined as firms with fewer than 500 employees, small businesses provide jobs for more than half of our workforce and represent 99.7 percent of all businesses in the United States. So, in our uncertain economic climate and with its focus on small business success in a turbulent economy, The 24-Hour Turnaround fulfills a pressing need.
Authors Davis and Cohen are uniquely qualified to write this book—a compilation of case studies highlighting entrepreneurial styles, innovations, and triumphs. Since 1985, their consulting company, Mage LLC, has guided over 700 small businesses and organizations on issues ranging from strategy, marketing and sales, to organizational and transitional issues. This book pinpoints the most common situations Mage LLC has encountered with entrepreneurs and owners of private companies. The case studies, based on the authors' extensive experience with individual entrepreneurs and their organizations, highlight means and methods by which business leaders can achieve their visions and goals, regardless of the nature of the market or the economy.
“One of the most important aspects of these six businesses is that all of them experienced great success during this economic crisis without any financial help whatsoever,” said Jeffrey S. Davis, co-author of The 24-Hour Turnaround. “They found their way to success unknowingly using the same principles, and in this book, we bring those principles out to share the knowledge with other businesses.”
The 24-Hour Turnaround focuses on leadership, attitudes, strategies, and tactics. It enables entrepreneurs to turn a keen analytical eye on their business trajectories and their personal leadership styles. It demonstrates the benefits of change, and teaches entrepreneurs how to go about implementing real change that creates business stability, growth, and success. Its unique value has already received broad recognition. Ronald S. Lauder, Chairman of the Board of Estee Lauder Inc., calls this book a "must read for anyone who’s in business to lead and succeed." The editor of the Boston Business Journal, George Donelley, finds the case studies in this volume "fascinating" and thinks they show how talent and inspiration "can make a huge difference at an enterprise."
Designed as an easy-to-read guide filled with wisdom you can deploy today, The 24-Hour Turnaround enlightens and empowers the small business leader or entrepreneur who wishes to steer a business to success, all within the challenges of a shifting, uncertain economy.
