Anatomy of a Business Plan Book

I've had this book sitting around on my bookshelves at home for a couple years and just never took the time to read it. Given I'm finally working on my degree and intend on doing some work with business etiquette consulting in the future, I thought it was high time I picked this book up and dusted it off.

The good points of the content is it's short and sweet. I read this book in less than two hours, so if you're looking for some quick tips for the workplace, I'd recommend it. It also has a quick guide section in the back with some pointers on international etiquette as well as a section on random situations one can encounter and some good tips on how to handle those situations.

The one major flaw the book has is also one of it's good qualities- it's short. So short that it really doesn't include all major topics of business etiquette (in my opinion) and what topics are covered are barely highlighted before moving onto the next section. The other potential down side is its lack of modern etiquette. Some of the tips are great, some are simply out-dated and old fashioned for the current business market.

All in all, it's a great book to find some generalized business etiquette pointers to assist with whatever corporate career you're headed towards or currently working in. However, if you're facing a specific situation- say, a dinner with one of your largest and newly aquired international clients- I'd highly recommend finding a book with a little more detail.
