Riassunto

Because many business and marketing students are required to do "fieldwork" as consultants to local businesses, the authors saw the need to distill the subject's information into one simple and practical guide. This reference takes the reader through the project assignment, into the initial meetings with clients, implementing the project, managing the team, developing recommendations, and client closure. The appendices give resource information on ethics and confidentiality. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
