Management during good economic times is important but management during bad economic times is pivotal. Management During an Economic Crisis provides sound advice to help management during those pivotal times." Celeste Oprean Dean of Business and Service Careers Blue Ridge Community College, Flat Rock, NC "Papes nuts and bolts approach to business management is a must read whether your business is in crisis or not. Communication and accountability are critical in every type of business." Bob Williford, President Henderson County Chamber of Commerce Hendersonville, NC 28739 "Bob Papes' new book Management During an Economic Crisis carries a tag line on the cover that is particularly relevant in today's economy: Best Practices for Small Business Survival in a Recession. And the key word is Practices because it sets Bob's work apart from others. His 50-page Appendix makes up about 30% of his book and offers dozens of examples of how to implement the best practices he recommends. I've seen Bob in action, and I have been struck by how quickly he gets to the bottom of business problems." William G. Layton Former Corporate Senior Executive and Semi-retired Consulting Firm President Serving Small Business
