Description
This is a practical guide to computer usage for owners of small businesses which describes each major computer application in turn. Microsoft Office and Windows 95 are the packages used, and the text offers worked examples from each of the applications to illustrate one or more of a business's main functions. These include production, budgeting, human resources, and marketing and administration. The book is broadly divided into three sections, and several chapters show the integrated use of software, allowing data transfer between software packages. The fundamentals of business computing are covered, and the computer applications applicable to small businesses include database, spreadsheet, word-processor, electronic mail and the Internet.
