The Great A&P and the Struggle for Small Business in America
By:"Marc Levinson"
Published on 2011-08-30 by Macmillan
One of The Wall Street Journal's Best Non fiction Books of 2011. From modest beginnings as a tea shop in New York, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company became the largest retailer in the world. It was a juggernaut, the first retailer to sell $1 billion in goods, the owner of nearly sixteen thousand stores and dozens of factories and warehouses. But its explosive growth made it a mortal threat to hundreds of thousands of mom-and-pop grocery stores. Main Street fought back tooth and nail, enlisting the state and federal governments to stop price discounting, tax chain stores, and require manufacturers to sell to mom and pop at the same prices granted to giant retailers. In a remarkable court case, the federal government pressed criminal charges against the Great A&P for selling food too cheaply-and won. The Great A&P and the Struggle for Small Business in America is the story of a stunningly successful company that forever changed how Americans shop and what Americans eat. It is a brilliant business history, the story of how George and John Hartford took over their father's business and reshaped it again and again, turning it into a vertically integrated behemoth that paved the way for every big-box retailer to come. George demanded a rock-solid balance sheet; John was the marketer-entrepreneur who led A&P through seven decades of rapid changes. Together, they built the modern consumer economy by turning the archaic retail industry into a highly efficient system for distributing food at low cost.

How to Write a Great Business Plan
By:"William Andrews Sahlman"
Published on 2008 by Harvard Business Press
Judging by all the hoopla surrounding business plans, you'd think the only things standing between would-be entrepreneurs and spectacular success are glossy five-color charts, bundles of meticulous-looking spreadsheets, and decades of month-by-month financial projections. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, often the more elaborately crafted a business plan, the more likely the venture is to flop. Why? Most plans waste too much ink on numbers and devote too little to information that really matters to investors. The result? Investors discount them. In How to Write a Great Business Plan, William A. Sahlman shows how to avoid this all-too-common mistake by ensuring that your plan assesses the factors critical to every new venture: · The people--the individuals launching and leading the venture and outside parties providing key services or important resources · The opportunity--what the business will sell and to whom, and whether the venture can grow and how fast · The context--the regulatory environment, interest rates, demographic trends, and other forces shaping the venture's fate · Risk and reward--what can go wrong and right, and how the entrepreneurial team will respond Timely in this age of innovation, How to Write a Great Business Plan helps you give your new venture the best possible chances for success.

How to Write a Great Business Plan for Your Small Business in 60 Minutes Or Less
By:"Sharon L. Fullen","Dianna Podmoroff"
Published on 2006 by Atlantic Publishing Company
A business plan is vital for a successful business. It aids in securing financing from a banker or investor. It is also a powerful management tool to set objectives, focus on goals, and avoid potential pitfalls. The process of writing a business plan enables you to consider all the aspects of starting a business—ranging from identifying opportunities to exploring risks to putting dollar amounts to ideas; the business plan makes you think about the highs and the lows, the advantages and the disadvantages, and the potential for success and failure. Although there are businesses that are successful without a business plan, significantly more businesses that fail to plan also fail to succeed.
