[Khalid Almoghrabi · Rating 4 out of 5]

كتاب جيد وشامل من حيث المحتوى وهو مكتوب لمن يريد ان يؤسس شركته في أمريكا بالذات لكن فيه من الفوائد والشمولية ما يجعله مفيدا لأي مكان

[David McClendon, Sr · Rating 5 out of 5]

We have read many books on how to start a business. We have to say that How to Start, Run, and Stay in Business Third Edition by Gregory F. Kishel and Patricia Gunter Kishel is one of the better ones.

This book was first published in 1981 and the third edition appears to have been published in 1998. Although it was written a while back, much of the advice in it is still pertinent today.

How to Start, Run, and Stay in Business is well-written and authoritative. The information is classic and much of the information will stand the test of time.


This book has been a part of our personal library for many years. We have no idea how we obtained this book.

كتاب قيم جدا ما راح تنهي الكتاب بدون لا تطلع بفايدة تجارية أو فكرة

[Ala'a Alhazani · Rating 2 out of 5]

يتضمن أفكار ونصائح جيدة ولكن ليست بالخطوات والنصائح التقويميه والتي يمكن أن يتبعها القاريء خطوةً بخطوه لإنشاء مشروعه، وكون الكتاب مترجم من الإنجليزيه فهو يحمل معلومات ونصائح حسب الظروف الأمريكيه ، برأيي لو هناك كتاب آخر عربي المصدر يحمل نفس العنوان سأرشحه على هذا الكتاب.

كتاب غاية في الروعه مفيد جداً لأصحاب المشاريع

[M'hamioudy Rachid · Rating 2 out of 5]

معضم المعلومات و الأفكار و النصائح موجهة للأمريكيين ولن يستفيد منها القارئ العربي إلا القليل جدا.

[Abdullah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not bad, though the book does focus on US based entrepreneurship. Overall a good read and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to start a new business.

[أحمد أكرم · Rating 1 out of 5]

الكتاب لا بأس به للإطلاع والفائدة العامة للمهتمين في المشاريع، لكن أغلب معلومات الكتاب قديمة وجزء كبير منها مناسب لبيئة الولايات المتحدة

[Husain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good book to start new business
