Business Books

Hi, I’m not a business graduate (infact, science) and I was wondering if there are individual books out there that I can buy to figure this out:

  • lets say i’m selling something a certain price and x no of customers buy it, is there any way to figure out how the no. of customers buying it will change if i raise/drop the price.
  • i have an introductory economics book from a course that I took a few years ago, but I’m not sure if that will suffice.

Thanks

pretty much any book in marketing, pricing, and basic econ would cover your question.

There are books for small business owners which have more of a hands on approach which may suit your needs better. I cant give you any specific titles, but best is just to browse a bookstore or look on amazon.

additionally, there are tons of online resources which can help you as well. the US SBA ( small business association) usually has tools, templates and advise which could be of help to you.

Thanks for replying Fraudia. I do actually need something that would answer the question of a small business owner. I tried looking on Amazon, but I could tell very little about the contents of books from their title.

Would you mind giving me some titles?, or perhaps a link to a specific cateogry on Amazon.

Thanks
