They track inventories, expenses, growth, break-even units, margins, employee turnover, compensation plans, return on training, sales, earnings per employee, and a host of other statistics. But to win in business, managers need to do more than track these benchmarks. They need to improve results.
Winning Business provides the benchmarks business managers should track. It shows managers how to calculate each benchmark, AND presents ways to improve their results. In short, this book provides a company with a blueprint for success. Each benchmark produces a value that managers can track over time to monitor the impact on their operations. To help managers evaluate their performance, it provides industry-wide benchmarks that list the results retailers, manufacturers, and even publishers should target.
Winning Business provides benchmarks for:
Managerial accounting
Sales and marketing
Employee benefits
Financial performance
Market indicators
Inventory analysis
Many others
