经营宝典：五本实用商业书籍

《打造企业为出售》

作者：约翰•瓦里洛

    别因为你没有出售公司的计划就放弃这本书。所有企业家都应该问问自己这个正中要害的核心问题：有没有人会为收购我这家公司，而拿出一大笔钱？如果答案是否定的，那或许经营这家公司纯属浪费时间。瓦里洛提出了一个三步测试法，帮助读者作出决定。例如：有没有可能训练一位新老板，像你一样运营这家公司？如果不能，或许你的公司根本就没有未来。

    本文作者凡尔纳•哈尼什是经理人培训公司Gazelles Inc.的首席执行官。

Built to sell

By John Warrillow

    Don't avoid this book because you're not planning to sell your company. It's important for all entrepreneurs to ask themselves its central, kick-in-the-gut question: Would anyone pay you a lot of money for your company? If not, maybe you're wasting your own time running it. Warrilow gives you a three-point test that will help you decide. For example: Would it be possible to train a new owner to do exactly what you do? If not, maybe your business doesn't have a future.
