Good Background Information.......2007-09-20
This material is good basic information for anyone wanting to get started in buying potential foreclosure properties. Begins by explaining basic terms and processes - eg. mortgage foreclosures lead to Sheriff's Sales, while Deeds of Trust lead to "Trustee's Sales" and lack a redemption period (owners can buy back their property during this period, leaving you with nothing to show for your effort, though you do get your money back).
On average, foreclosure buyers have 90 days + 20 days publication time to work a deal with the homeowners. Buying from onwers prior to foreclosure also eliminates the redemption period. FHA and VA loans are much more likely to be assumable.
Buying at auction means having to contend with competitors, an inability to inspect the property prior to bidding, and all sales being final. After foreclosure one is less likely to get a good price, it is harder to inspect the property (utilities probably turned off).
Finding foreclosure properties is eased by looking in public records for "Lis Pendens" (judicial process) or the "Notice of Default" (non-judicial process); there is also the later Foreclosure Auction notice. Other sources include looking in the newspaper of record and/or the County Recorder database. Still other sources include divorce proceedings (likely problems with the lawyers involved), probate filings, FSBO listings, Internet sites (eg. foreclosure(s).com, street signs, Internet ads.
Author also recommends a full title search ($100-$350), and contracts written "Subject to" eg. inspections.
great book.......2007-03-08

Pre-Foreclosure R.E. Handbook.......2007-03-04
Excellent book, writer F. Orlando give's Great insight to
the whole foreclosure process and the way to approach
this business investment. Book written in Easy to read
style, with good legal issues to consider in this business.
Great Read!
Very good for beginners.......2007-01-22
The book's strategy offers a simple method for identification for properties, including how to approach owners AND lenders. Sending attractive offers such as short sales and how to wait out lender approval. This is a very good read for beginners wanting to enter into the foreclosure market, especially in the current situation of higher interest rates and lower consumer demand for real estate. There will be a spike of foreclosures.

Great book .......2007-01-06
It's a good, interesting read. Not too over-the head; pretty easy to understand. The index needs revising, though. Some of the key words were not on the assigned pages. I'm going into the contracting field and I'll be keeping this book for reference.

Managing the Supply Chain : The Definitive Guide for the Business Professional

Book Description
The Supply Chain Council (SCC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing best practices in supply chain management. But until now, there have been no books available based on these preferred techniques. Supply Chain Excellence gives professionals implementing new supply chain projects a clear, step-by-step guide to adopting the accepted and proven methodologies developed by the SCC. This book uses the council's Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model, showing readers how they can:
* align strategy, material, workflow and information * conduct the proper competitive analysis to define business opportunity * establish the metrics that will determine the project's level of success * gain internal support by educating employees and executives
Using a unique SCOR Project Roadmap, Supply Chain Excellence is an instruction manual for achieving supply chain success.

An "objective, unbiased way to define supply chain management".......2007-06-06
SCOR is an acronym for the Supply Chain Operations Reference business model that was developed by the Supply Chain Council. (For more information about SCC, please visit http://www.supply-chain.org/index.ww.) In this volume, Peter Bolstorff and Robert Rosenbaum explain what the SCOR model is, how to use it most effectively, and why it can help any organization (regardless of size or nature) to improve its supply chain management. When reading this volume, it is important to keep in mind that effective management of any supply chain model depends upon active and collaborative engagement in the process by (literally) everyone involved, at all levels and in all areas of the given enterprise.
Many readers will especially appreciate the format that Bolstorff and Robert Rosenbaum selected within which to present their material. After two introductory chapters in which they discuss the supply chain operations reference model and then suggest how to build organizational support for supply chain improvement, they focus on the implementation of a four-phase process during a recommended seventeen-week timeframe and devote a separate chapter to each of the seventeen weeks.
Phase I: Discover the Opportunity (Week One)
Phase II: Analyze Basis of Competition (Weeks Two-Four)
Phase III: Design Material Flow (Weeks Five-Eleven)
Phase IV: Work and Information Flow Analysis and Design (Weeks Twelve-Seventeen)
Bolstorff and Rosenbaum then provide six appendices which facilitate review of the key points later: SCOR Model Overview, Fowler's Business Context Summary, Fowler's Supply Chain Improvement Project Charter, Partial List of SCOR Model Leading Practices (Sorted by Business Area), SCOR Version 5.0 Quick Reference Guide, and SCOR and Six Sigma DMAIC [i.e. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control].
Note: Fowlers, Inc. is a billion-dollar conglomerate with worldwide leadership in three businesses: food processing, optical technology products, and business services. "Fundamental to the success is the Fowlers mission to continually exceed customer expectations. The company and its employees believe that if they go beyond what customers require, those customers will return again and again."
For me, some of the most valuable material in this book is provided in Chapter 17 (Week Fifteen) when Bolstorff and Rosenbaum explain how to determine how the given business should work by reviewing the Sample SCOR Level 3 Baseline Blueprint (see Table 16-3 on Page 181), adjusting SCOR Level Three processes between "swim lanes" (i.e. dividers used to organize and separate process steps by groups, organizations or roles; used to delineate ownership of the processes), incorporating transaction language for the specific technology application that will be used, conducting logical business transaction tests, and calculating productivity improvements based on the changes.
This is by no means an "easy read" and will be especially challenging to those who have only limited (if any) prior experience with the design and implementation of a large organization's supply chain for. Credit Bolstorff and Rosenbaum with making brilliant use of an extended case study of Fowlers. I certainly appreciated this approach because it enabled me to gain a much better understanding of how the exemplary organization navigated its way through the eight steps of the SCOR project lifecycle which begins with educating everyone within the given enterprise about supply chain improvement to gain their support and concludes with implementing whatever changes (i.e. improvements) may be necessary to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
Those who share my high regard for this volume may also be interested in Thomas Stallkamp's SCORE! in which he explains how (then) Chrysler Motors used a proprietary goal and measurement system (Supplier Cost Reduction Effort) in the 1990s. At that time, Stallkamp was responsible for Chrysler's procurement and supply activities. "Although it took some time to get started, by 1992, the SCORE approach had been incorporated into a supply-management philosophy called the Extended Enterprise of the firm. Because their destiny and fortunes were directly linked to Chrysler's, the idea was to build a virtual team atmosphere in which all parties focused on reducing the cost of developing and producing vehicles. The construction supply-side suggestions worked to reduce both the supplier's costs and those of Chrysler." In this book, Stallkamp traces with meticulous the process by which SCORE was formulated and then implemented as a proprietary goal and measurement system.
Supply Chain Excellence.......2007-01-11
Definitely a very good overview of the SCOR model (Supply Chain Chain Operations Reference). I have used this book as a base reference for Kaizen processes I have championed, with SCOR as a structural foundation.
My only reservation is that the book reviews how the overall process works from a project perspective without digging into the metrics. An experienced practitioner can get around this through experience and other resources however it would have been nice to have. To offset this the auther goes into the "whys" and the "whats" instead of the "hows" and does an extremely good job at his targeted subject material.
I would most definitely purchase and use this book again, and recommend it to others looking to use SCOR processes to improve their balanced scorecards.
A good book for me as a reference.......2007-01-10
This book is available for me as a reference in my task as senior purchasing to conduct best parctical of supply chain
The Path to Supply Chain Excellence.......2006-11-02
I highly recommend this book for any business that is in the process or is preparing for a BHAG. Peter Bolstorff provides the practitioner with detailed project roadmaps while addressing the challenges and process of change within a Supply Chain. By following the details within his book your company will increase customer satisfaction, profits and achieve excellence.
SCOR methodology explained.......2006-05-23
This book does a decent job of explaining SCOR methodology to the novices. Please do not expect to immideately start using the SCOR model after reading this book - that needs a lot of experience and judgement. Besides the slightly dry writing style, I do not have quibbles with the style. On the content side - I do believe the title promises more that what it will deliver to most people.

Customer Reviews:
A book with the good tips........2002-01-07
As a beginner in the field of Purchasing,I found this book very
usefull and full with "gemstones" tips.
The author has alot of experience to share with us,gives us an
ideas what to do,how and why.
My only comment is on the lack of cost analysis examples.
Handy but limited.......2001-03-30
As a buyer of several years I found that this book addressed the fundamentals of purchasing quite well but is a bit old-fashioned. Obviously, since it came out in 1992, it does not contain any information about on-line buying and the computer section is rather quaint given today's business practices, software choices and skills. I would recommend it to a for an entry-level purchasing assistant or a junior buyer without formal training. I would be very interested in an updated version of this book.
It's a Bullseye!.......2000-03-11
For anyone facing the duties and responsibilities associated with developing and implementing purchasing procedures, policies, and strategies, this is the book! It is on-point for all issues related to purchasing.
Clear, Concise, and right to the point. I loved it........1999-04-09
For someone who is just beginning in the purchasing field, I found this book very useful. It gets right to the point and the content is easy to read and follow. The book covers many topics in an easy to use Table of Contents guide to find just what you want. I like how it tells you what to do and what not to do and WHY.

Book Description
Over the past two decades, not only has supply chain analysis become a strategic focus of leading firms, it has also spawned an impressive array of research that brings together diverse research communities. Adding to this diversity and intellectual energy is the emergence of E-Business. E-Business creates new competitive dimensions that are fast-paced, ever-changing, and risk-prone, dimensions where innovation, speed, and technological savvy often define success. Most importantly, E-Business challenges the premises and expands the scope of supply chain analysis. The
Handbook is a comprehensive research reference that is essential for anyone interested in conducting research in supply chain. Unique features include:
-A focus on the intersection of quantitative supply chain analysis and E-Business,
-Unlike other edited volumes in the supply chain area, this is a handbook rather than a collection of research papers. Each chapter was written by one or more leading researchers in the area. These authors were invited on the basis of their scholarly expertise and unique insights in a particular sub-area,
-As much attention is given to looking back as to looking forward. Most chapters discuss at length future research needs and research directions from both theoretical and practical perspectives,
-Most chapters describe in detail the quantitative models used for analysis and the theoretical underpinnings; many examples and case studies are provided to demonstrate how the models and the theoretical insights are relevant to real situations,
-Coverage of most state-of-the-art business practices in supply chain management.
Audience: This volume is suitable for researchers, faculty, graduate students, and practitioners in the following areas: supply chain management, operations research, management science, decision science, industrial engineering, operations management, civil engineering/transportation, logistics management, risk management, applied mathematics, economics, computer science, industrial management, and other related areas.

Book Description
For buyers of a business or anyone involved in any phase of the due diligence process, Gordon Bing provides a unique, comprehensive, one-volume source of information and guidance. His book will help investors research, evaluate, and understand an existing or proposed business not only from a financial standpoint, but also from equally important nonfinancial standpoints. It provides a full explanation of the due diligence process, including systematic methods to determine the information you need, why you need it, and how to get it. Keyed to each topic, chapter by chapter, is a full list of specific questions that should be asked during due diligence proceedings to be studied beforehand and carried with you as a valuable on-the-spot reference. A unique, practical resource for professionals and a hands-on text for students in business schools and upper division undergraduate courses in mergers and acquisitions. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss how to plan, organize, and conduct due diligence. In Chapter 3, Bing shows how to construct a list of the information and documents you will need. Chapter 4, by M&A attorneys James W. Ryan and Robert C. Beasley, deals with the legal aspects, responsibilities, and perils of performing or failing to perform due diligence. From there the book focuses on specific areas of due diligence inquiry--including management, marketing, human resource and other important functions--and helps you develop your own tailor-made investigation best suited to the company you are studying. The book concludes with a unique checklist of all the questions explained earlier--a manual you can study beforehand and then carry with you into meetings "on site."
Customer Reviews:
Very comprehensive.......2000-10-25
The book uncovers a huge amount of detailed questions, nedded to perform a solid due dilligence. Very good for inspiration before investigating.
An excellent guide to truly understanding the numbers.......1998-11-07
As someone who works in investment banking, I can say this book is applicable to much more than just due diligence. It can help an analyst through most financial analysis situations(assuming the user knows the basics of how to use and analyze financial statements). What's best about the book is that it goes beyond the theory and academic stuff and gets down to real "how-to's" and "why's". He goes through every account that would appear on the three major financial statements and explains what to look for in them, how to find the answer if it's not readily apparent, what questions to ask and why the questions are important. He also thoroughly examines off-balance sheet, off-income statement and qualitative items that are essential to analysis. Beware, there are no numbers or examples to work through in this book. This book is quite literally one man's experience and intuition put into written form. If you understand that financial analysis is not as cut-and-dry as looking at well-prepared, fully forthcoming financial statements with all the info you need already given, then this book is just what you are looking for. It helps you get the right numbers to which you can apply meaningful financial analysis.

What Every Business Owner Should Know About Valuing Their Business
ASIN: 1580620051 |
Book Description
Determining the value of a small business can seem like an obscure and incomprehensible art form of interest only to potential buyers and sellers, and only when a business is about to change hands. The situation is complicated by the fact that there are a number of different ways to set a value on a given business.
The Small Business Valuation Book is an invaluable resource for business owners or buyers who need to make an accurate appraisal of a small business-offering easy-to-use techniques for determining a fair price, resolving disputes, and minimizing taxes.
In a clear and concise manner, author Lawrence Tuller outlines the major valuation methods, including:
Discounted cash flow
Excess earnings
Asset value
Income capitalization
He also describes 32 specific examples covering the entire range of potential valuation situations.

Thanks for your high commitment.......2005-08-02
First shipment seemed lost, and after notice given I got immediate replacement. Thanks a lot!
not bad but .......2004-12-02
This book is good for a quick overview of some valuation methods, but I found it to be a little too simplified, although it's not bad for mom-and-pop retail and service businesses. If you are actually don't going to do the calculations and want more professional results, take a look at "Unlocking the Value of Your Business".
More about managing that buying a business.......2003-08-12
This book wasn't bad, especially for the price, but there are better ones out there. ("The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business" for example.) About half the book is special situations or special types of companies, which is great if you happen to be one of those but not if you aren't. This book did cover the basics of business valuation, but I actually found it more useful for looking at the value of a business as a tool to improve its operations.
The Small Business Valuation Book.......2003-07-12
Recommended highly, but for persons with a strong background in Accounting, Business and Finance. Not for the beginner. A Harvard Education helps..
A decent book but.......2001-01-01
Provides a summary treatment of this subject, but a book I like better is "Unlocking the Value of Your Business", which seems to be more complete, but easy to use and understand.
