 | Concept of the Corporation
Peter Drucker
Despite the fact that Concept of the Corporation was written in 1946, there are still tons of lessons to take advantage of in the book which are absolutely applicable to today's situations and circumstances. One of Peter Drucker's best books! Concept of the Corporation studies and analyzes the General Motors corporation in-depth. This was the first book that looked at General Motors, and corporations in general, as their own social structure. Readers learn how the business' managers are selected for the company, how the managers act within the company, and how the management in a corporation is organized into different units and levels in order to get a variety of tasks accomplished. |

 | Double or Nothing: How Two Friends Risked It All to Buy One of Las Vegas' Legendary Casinos
Tom Breitling with Cal Fussman
In the early nineties, two twenty-something year-old boys set up a hotel reservations company LVRS to fill hotel rooms in Las Vegas. In the late nineties, they discover the Internet that seems to have been invented specifically for their business. They rename their new online business Travelscape.com to fill hotel rooms worldwide and their already profitable business takes off. Then Microsoft's Expedia.com comes along with an offer they can't refuse, and two thirty-something year-olds become $105 million richer. It doesn't stop there. They take their newfound wealth and buy the Golden Nugget casino and even star in their own reality TV show (The Casino) produced by Mark Burnett (of The Apprentice). They later sell the casino for another $100+ million profit. Sound too good to be true? Well, it is true. An incredible story... |

Robert Heilbroner and Lester Thurow
A great book for the new student of Economics or for those who need a quick refresher. Ever wondered why currencies rise and fall? What do economists mean by current account balances?

A great read for those of us who are not looking to become experts in Economics but need to know enough to operate effectively in the business arena. |
