2012 Digital Library: First books on the way!

Building on the success of the 2010 (50 books) and 2011 (60 books) Digital Libraries, Business Expert Press will release the first new titles from the 2012 Digital Library (which will contain 50 books) in late January. Watch our newsletter for more details!

Established in 2008 with input from faculty and academic librarians and now used by tens of thousands of students, Business Expert Press publishes concise, practical treatments of the topics taught in MBA programs. Our born-digital books are written by professors who translate real-life business experiences into teaching tools, and serve as curriculum-oriented, cost-effective alternatives to high-priced textbooks by providing the kind of information that's not offered in introductory textbooks or case studies. Unencumbered by DRM, they can be used easily and without limitation by the academic community.

“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
