Real World Proven Best Business Practices publications:
Book #1: ‘Bridging the Gap Between Academic Teachings and Real World Business Success‘
“My first book. I wrote this book during 2016 as a measure to help bridge the gap between commerce teachings provided by tertiary education organisations and real world business success.“
This book equips graduating commerce students and new and seasoned business owners alike with concrete practical knowledge to apply on the coalface of the real world of business, expressed in clear simple language.
Book #2: ‘Building and Managing a Successful Franchise‘
“My second book. I wrote this book around the middle of 2017, encouraged to do so by neighbours who themselves are owners of a high performing franchise business.”
This book concentrates on understanding what the Critical Success Factors are that cause franchises to be great…plus (at the other end of the spectrum) it identifies the attributes that tend to make franchises dysfunctional.
