...The E-Myth Revisited – Michael E. Gerber Book Summary Summary Introduction This document summarizes The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. The intent is to distill the major concepts from the book in note form for efficient perusal. Because only the main points of the book have been summarized here, reading the book in its entirety is highly recommended to get the full impact of the message Gerber conveys, as well as the dialogue in the book with one of his clients, Sarah, which provides additional insight on the concepts presented in the book. The ideas and text presented here are copyrighted works by Michael E. Gerber. Some of the text has been summarized for clarity and brevity. The E-Myth Revisited People who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more. Businesses fail when their owners spend their time and energy defending what they think they know. A business doesn’t miss the mark by failing to achieve greatness in some lofty, principled way, but in the stuff that goes on in the multitude of seemingly insignificant, unimportant, and boring things that make up every business (and life as well). The greatest business people have a genuine fascination for the truly astonishing impact little things done exactly right can have on the world. The book is about four profound ideas that can mean the difference between the success and failure of a small business: 1. There is a myth...

...may be divided into six broad areas: 1. identification and acquisition of relevant sources 2. preliminary research, which normally takes the form of reading and making notes and possibly visits to organisations for primary data 3. focused thinking about your report 4. writing your report plan 5. writing your first draft 6. producing the final report You should form the habit of looking very closely at the report title at this stage to see exactly what it is asking you. Do not forget that the same report may be answered in a variety of different ways, THERE IS NO ONE CORRECT ANSWER TO ANY GIVEN QUESTION. What is always required however is some kind of evidence to support the points you wish to make, whether it is evidence from a text, a journal, or in certain cases a primary source. At this point you should be beginning to think in terms of the argument you wish to make and the evidence you might use. You will not need to use all the notes you have compiled as a result of your research, but you should never regard your research as wasted even if you don’t use it, as it will increase your knowledge and understanding of the subject which will be reflected in your later work. Sometimes the kind of evidence you have gathered may influence the line of argument you choose to take. At other times you will be clear from the first what line of argument you intend to take. Planning Your Report You have now reached the very important stage of planning your report. It ...

History Dr. Riordan started Riordan Manufacturing after purchasing a in 1992 when he obtained the venture capital to purchase a fan manufacturing plant in Pontiac, MI. Riordan’s primary plant for making custom plastic parts is the Michigan plant. In 1993 the company also began to produce plastic containers for beverages out of Albany, GA.

Riordan’s main customers are automotive parts manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers, the Department of Defense, beverage makers and bottlers, and appliance manufacturers. Riordan Accounting System Each Riordan location has separate, customized financial and accounting and those systems are costly and complicated to customize, update and test.

Miscellaneous publications and materials: pp. 7-8 Within each section, we have organised the information into three columns: • Column 1 lists the different types of source materials that you will need to reference when you are doing an assignment. • Column 2 shows you how to do ‘in-text referencing’ or ‘in-text citation’ – this is where you refer to your sources of information WITHIN your assignment when you paraphrase, summarise or quote. • Column 3 shows you how to cite each type of reference in the ‘Reference List’ at the END of your assignment. This list of references provides your reader with all the information about each source you have referred to in your assignment, so they can find each source you have referred to if they wish. Here are some useful terms with which you need to be familiar: A paraphrase means saying something in another way without changing its meaning, for example, using your own words to express the ideas of an author. A paraphrase may/may not be shorter than the original. A summary is similar to a paraphrase except it is shorter than the original. Summarising involves ‘compressing’ large amounts of information into a few sentences. So it involves picking out the main ideas, leaving out the details, and putting the main ideas into your own words. A quotation...
