    The Pepperdine MBA program for fully employed professionals emphasizes ethics and teamwork as well as core business courses. No other program in Southern California places such emphasis on group projects and working with other people, which I believe is the key to success in business.

    Someone had to write it…and that’s why a group of top consultants in Los Angeles did. THE Book on Business from A to Z; The 260 Most Important Answers You Need to Know is the result of trying to constantly answer clients’ questions across a vast range of business topics. After frequent discussions about some of our most challenging engagements, the coauthors realized that we had one thing in common: Clients who were regularly asking questions about many areas beyond our individual areas of expertise. We wanted to be able to provide an ongoing resource for those questions that arise when we are not in front of our clients. This book covers 26 of the most important business topics in the world today. Jennifer Beever wrote the chapter on Marketing, answering the 10 most frequently asked marketing questions business owners have.
