The AMA Dictionary of Business & Management
Description
The AMA Dictionary of Business & Management is an essential source for everyone who needs to speak and write the language of business with clarity, impact, and ease. This comprehensive reference supplies definitions for more than 6,000 key business and management terms with the authority and depth generally lacking in the "webinitions" that abound online. In addition to concisely demystifying terminology and catch-phrases from AAA to low-hanging fruit to zero-based budgeting, it provides longer entries for ideas needing more extensive explanations—for starters: Business Plan and Life Cycle Strategy (LCS).
