Description
The Growing Business Handbook, now in its 17th Edition, provides a comprehensive account of the underlying challenges for growing companies, offering insight into techniques and solutions for maximising growth and controlling risks during the course of 2016/17.

The Growing Business Handbook will bring readers up to speed on how best to lead and manage the growth process. By offering an insight into the techniques and solutions for maximizing growth and controlling risks within an enterprise, this must-have offers practical advice and concrete suggestions to help an enterprise reach maximum potential.
