Strategic Decisions for Small Business:

It's Just Noodles, This Ain't No Trattoria
                                                                             by R Blake Hendrix

Just Noodles takes a different tack on strategic planning and adapts its principles to fit the needs of small business. Strategic theory taught in business schools and used in practice is designed for the Fortune 500 company. However, the theory is the same and equally applies to a family business. This text compiles relevant economic, strategic and game theory principles and explains them in a useful and understandable format for the small business. Theoretical knowledge is coupled with experience and insight to offer steps used in finding solutions to problems facing the small businessperson.

According to D. Scott Cooksey of cookseyconnects , "While statistics concerning the failure rate of small businesses are often subject of debate, there are no doubt a great number of small businesses that encounter great difficulty within the first years of opening their doors. The difficulty surfaces once the business outgrows its current facilities, capital structure, or skill set of the owners who suddenly find themselves in over their heads. As business owners are starved for knowledge, Just Noodles serves up a healthy portion of business know-how, set off by a balance of entertaining anecdotes.

Targeted for the audience of small business owners ready to take their ideas to the next level, Just Noodles tackles questions often asked, but rarely answered in bite-sized portions. No matter your background, Just Noodles dishes up the opportunity to learn how the financial community evaluates a business; what to expect to hear from lenders; the appropriate time to bring in a consultant or business coach for an outside perspective, or how to correct small issues before they become big problems."
