Charts and case studies help illustrate the topics." Barbara L. Giacomelli, PharmD, MBA, Doody's Notes, May 2013 October 2012 "...it did highlight several areas that I hadn't first thought about, such as appraising readiness to become an entrepreneur... ...this book seems to cover most bases, as well as including self-test questions at the end of each chapter with answers at the end of the book, and cases to look through. Overall, if you are considering owning your own pharmacy, or managing one, in the future, then this book is a good starting point."
