This book, Executive VisiCalc, is written for business managers. It applies equally to managers of people or managers of money. VisiCalc is promoted especially as a tool for planning.
Chapters 1-5 are tutorial in nature, telling the reader how to get VisiCalc up and running, and how to construct formulas.
Beginning with Chapter 6, the author introduces a number of business applications: monthly reports, sales analysis, forecasting, bookkeeping, accounts receivable, and planning.
In Chapter 9, Clark introduces his readers to one of the most useful features of VisiCalc, the ability to see instantly the results of a change in an assumption. For example, after creating a budget spreadsheet, someone might ask, "What if...?" Legend has it that this is the reason why Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston developed the VisiCalc program in the first place. VisiCalc lets you juggle contributory factors until a desired result is achieved -- all without hassle. What a tool!
Bottom Line: This book is small enough, plain enough, and useful enough that even your boss can handle it.… (plus d'informations)
