Taking Your Company Public: a Corporate Strategies Manual - Softcover

This book deals with the process of taking a company public, from forming the initial public offering to beginning operations. Entrepreneurs who are pressed for time often find this process difficult due to its many steps. Most books on this subject fail to offer first-hand, practical advice on taking a company public, whereas this book is intended to provide definitive guidance. Taking a company public is every entrepreneur's dream, and it alsooffers major financial rewards, prestige and glamour. It is also acomplex process that often intimidates entrepreneurs, and requires specialists in many disciplines such as accountants, attorneys, consultants and public relations executives. These professionals may possess a thorough knowledge of their area of expertise, but they rarely have a total grasp of the entire process of taking a company public. This book fulfills the need of the Chief Executive Officer and the IPO team to obtaina more complete understanding of this complex subject.
