I am looking for an indepth book on starting and running a small business from an “operational” perspective. A “how to” for setting up functional areas such as: customer service, manufacturing, inventory, office personal and management, procurement and logistics….

Thanks in advance for any help you recommend,

Jeff

Buyology sounds like an interesting read for sure. I’m going to be checking that one out the next time I’m at the book store.

I’d like to suggest John Assaraf’s book: The Answer

1.) Why read the book: Because you will learn the true value of positive thinking and what it can do for yourself and your business.

2.) Key take-away: The tips and advice contained within the book really do work and your goals can truly be achieved by implementing the practices into your life.

Good to see I was already planning to order most of these anyways. Pity the Aussie dollar is going down though – used to be such as good deal for me to buy books over Amazon.

@Walt – OH I love Tim Berry’s Plan as you go – stay tuned for more on that one.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions – I’m taking note and will get them (if only to feed that biz book addiction)

Excellent article! I especially liked how you it is written… very similar to Inc.’s. However, in my opinion, the best business book of 2008 was Breakthrough Company by Keith McFarland
