Students Create Business Guide at Tech

A small group ofVirginia Tech seniors in at Pamplin College of Business have produced a new book for would-be business people called The Online Business Guidebook. It is a 40-page guide for students and e-biz start-ups that provides a good bit of simplified, direct, useful information.

The book is, in essence, an in-depth Web search, and was a course project in Business Analysis Seminar in Information Technology.

Students established a non-profit organization as the book’s publisher and organized into five groups (planning and administration, budgeting and bookkeeping, Website, content and design/printing/distribution) to put it together.

The book, which retails for about $10, has received a number of grants and donations and interest has been expressed in it by several corporations. The guides are to be made available to business professors nationally, students, business incubators, and SBDCs among others. Students compiled a mailing list of about 18,000 business professors. It was handed out to reporters recently at a Tech event whose hose was the Public Information Department.

  1. Thanks for the heads up. A small business can choose from generic software that can be used to automate routine tasks or they can choose to have one custom designed to best suit their business requirements. They can even choose a hybrid version that combines the two for maximum effectiveness. The type of software that the company chooses depends on the size of the business, the nature of their operations and their budget.
