Goodreads Recommends--Business!
Apr. 13th, 2014 06:03 pmI am busy trying to get an Associate's degree in Business Management from Rasmussen College, so I have been reading rather more business-related books than I would prefer to. As a result, Goodreads has some suggestions based on my "business" shelf.
I don't know how many of these are likely to have been read by my Dreamwidth and LJ friends, but let's find out.
