“What I have long felt we lacked, and what BEP provides, are short, applied books by academic thought leaders, aimed specifically at advanced business students, which support their coursework and professional exploration.”

—Michael Oppenheim, UCLA

Transforming U.S. Army Supply Chains: Strategies for Management Innovation (by Greg H. Parlier)

“The concepts of this book have great potential to make enormous worldwide contributions to broad governmental and corporate realms. This is a powerful set of ideas that the corporate world will and must apply to fuel a worldwide revolution of innovation and transformation.”

—Army Sustainment

“The UNC library has purchased the Business Expert Press eBook collection from the beginning because...the titles...represent good value for a good price.”

—Luke Swindler, UNC/Chapel Hill

An Overview of the Public Relations Function (by Shannon A. Bowen, Brad Rawlins, and Thomas Martin)

“...impressive...lives up to aspirations of blending theory with practice by providing...essential, reader-friendly diagrams, avoiding jargon, and using inviting, available prose on the one hand, whereas being research driven, philosophically based, and thus penetrating...lessons of equal importance to students with a PR career orientation and to those professionals already learning the ropes from within.”

—Journal of Communication

“Business Expert Press’s e-books give [business] students content that they need, when they need it, without any restrictions to limit their use.”

—Beth Bernhardt, UNC/Greensboro

Business Planning and Entrepreneurship: An Accounting Approach (by Michael Kraten)

“...practical guide to the functional elements that constitute a business plan and explains how these elements fit together...views the business plan components through the lens of "management accounting" and addresses six topical elements: the business model, volume estimation, cost estimation, revenue estimation, investment value, and risk management...antidote to the abundant business plan templates readily available on the Web, which are often fill-in-the-blanks exercises that discourage the comprehensive thought and analysis required to produce a solid business plan. Highly recommended.”

—CHOICE Magazine

“...really like the fact that there are very few restrictions on your product such as unlimited simultaneous use, no DRM, downloadable PDFs, availability of MARC records and no yearly fees.”

—Denise Gehring, Azusa Pacific University
