It is not an oversimplification of accounting and financial principles. It is, however, a serious and very effective examination of a very small but progressively complex business. There are not many books available on the market that make a complex and dry subject understandable and even fun. This book successfully does just that." —desertcart Reviewer Review: accounting thinga - good and easy to understand Review: 楽しんで勉強しました。 - Accountingには全く無縁ですが、少しはbusinessの勉強もしようと、購入しました。小学生の男の子が夏休みにレモネードショップを始めて最後にはビジネスコンサルタントの分野にも進出を始めますが、最後にはわずかな手違い、で結局あまり商売がうまくいかない、というその経過を通して、ビジネス関係の言葉、income statementなどの基本的な表の作り方を学ぶことができます。ものすごく専門的な内容ではなく、ビジネスを専攻したアメリカ人に言わせれば普通のaccountingとはちょっと違うとのことですが、専門外の人間には十分でした。ついでにスラングの勉強もできます。この手の初心者向きの入門書が他にもあれば、是非購入したいです。
