Keeps getting better!.......2005-12-01

If you are looking for a complete and easy to use "bible" for the financial planner or are a student of financial planning this book is probably my favorite. It is COMPLETE. I used this book years ago as an instructor and found that I kept it as a reference to use in my practice.
I recently received the latest edition as a gift to replace my shopworn copy and find to it to be up to date, easy to use and still the first book I grab when I need to reference something that I have forgotten over the years or simply don't know.
I appreciate the depth of this book and recommend it to my fellow planners as the best book to own for good, quick answers or to students who really want to know the subject matter in a complete way.
Before you order keep in mind this isn't a quick read, it's a BIG book and full of information.

The consumate book that covers all your financial planning questions .......2005-11-27

If you look at the information notated in the table of contents alone, you can see why I say this. The breadth of the financial planning topics covered is simply fantastic.

If you are already in the field or are working towards attaining your CFP, there is alot of information to try to retain to be an efficient advisor to your clients. This book will assist you in your endeavor to retain this knowledge and give you one place to find same.

I have had fellow CFP students that are already in related professions comment to me they have used this book on a few occassions with in weeks of getting it. I believe actual use is the best recommendation a book like this can get. This is why I am getting another copy of this book to give as a present, to a friend who is an agent for a major Illinois insurance company.

I have also had the good fortune to meet the lead author, Sid Mittra, in person and was impressed with his true personal passion and interest in assembling experts in areas to supplement his own knowledge to bring us the best book on Practicing Financial Planning he could.

Book Description

Spiritual and Ethical Lessons for the Workaday World: How to Do Well—and Do Good

How can I find greater satisfaction in my work?

How can I lead my employees through difficult times?

If you get up each morning to go to work, this guide contains the reminder you need to succeed: you can do well and, at the very same time, you can do good.

Rabbi Wayne Dosick gives us tools to solve both the major moral dilemmas and the day-to-day questions of life at work. He offers ten new commandments that can transform our work and work environment into places for accomplishment and satisfaction, honesty and integrity, decency and dignity—and success.

Through stories, real-life business situations, and artfully chosen spiritual texts, The Business Bible reminds us that principles don't have to be sacrificed for profits, that value means more than net worth, and that spiritual ethics can lead to business excellence.

Ancient Wisdom from Moses for Modern Business .......2007-07-18

Rabbi Wayne Dosick brings 10 new commandments for creating an ethical workplace in modern business. This book is almost 14 years old and the relevance is pre-tech boom/pre-oil boom but can still echoe wise sayings. A Jewish based guide on what confronts many in their offices.

From the introductory chapter:

Religion like soap works when you use it. The religious quest deals not simply with the world of spirit, but with the world of the ordinary and the practical because that is where you live

Easy to understand.......2006-02-25

This text book is very self-explanatory. Makes learning the information easy and helpful. All books should be written like this one.

Food & Beverage Cost Control.......2002-06-12

As a culinary educator, I find this book both informative and user-friendly. The Excel spreadsheets and "Fun on the Web" exercises add interesting and useful technological components. The text gets to the point on all issues without belaboring the theoretical aspects of food and beverage cost controls. The book covers junior and senior level concepts in a readable format suitable for freshmen and sophomores. It is a book for all levels with real life examples. I would recommend it to anyone, be it from education or industry.

An excellent edition!.......2001-06-19

This book is a must-read for any foodservice manager who is interested in an accurate, to the point, and technologically advanced review of food and beverage cost control methods. Controlling labor and food costs have never been more important than in today's environment. Those managers who master control procedures will succeed, and this book helps them to do just that.

The author's use of Excel spreadsheets really helps learning, as does the large number of realistic industry examples. Even the Internet plays a part in the book's usefulness when the authors refer readers to applicable web sites. Best of all, the concepts (especially those related to labor control) that are presented are useful to the managers I work with regardless of their culture or even the continent in which they work.

I recommend the book to all hospitality managers, and I would recommend it to any serious student of hospitality.

Book Description

The NRAEF is introducing a new program as part of its strategic focus on recruitment and retention. This new management training certification program is based on a set of competencies defined by the restaurant, foodservice and hospitality industry as those needed for success. NRAEF ManageFirst Program leads to a new credential, ManageFirst Professional (MFP), which is part of our industry career ladder. This competency-based program includes 12 topics, each with a competency guide, exam, instructor resources and certificate. Students earn a certificate for each exam passed. The topics and exams are aligned to typical on-campus courses. For example, the Controlling Foodservice Costs Competency Guide is designed to align with a Cost Control or Operations Management course. Competency Guides and Textbooks: Most guides are 150-200 pages in length and are designed to be used with traditional textbooks for each course area. Each guide contains the essential content for that topic, learning activities, assessments, case studies, suggested field trips & research projects, professional profiles and testimonials. Instructor resources are available electronically and include competency guide content, notes indicating points to be emphasized, recommended activities and discussion questions, and answers to all activities and case studies. Exams: Exams accompany each topic covered in the competency guides. Pencil and paper and online exam formats are offered. They typically are proctored on campus at the end of a course by faculty. Certificates: The NRAEF provides a certificate to students upon successfully passing each exam. The certificates are endorsed by the NRAEF and feature the student’s name and the exam passed. The certificates are a lasting recognition of a student’s accomplishment and a signal to the industry that the student has mastered the competencies covered within a particular topic. Credential: Upon successful completion of five NRAEF ManageFirst Program exams (including three predefined core topics, one foundation topic, and ServSafe Food Safety) a student is awarded the NRAEF ManageFirst Professional (MFP) credential. There is no additional charge for the credential. The program is targeted at the academic community. The program is flexible for use at two-year or four-year restaurant, foodservice and hospitality programs, proprietary schools and technical/vocational career education schools.
