4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but......, September 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Winning Government Business: Gaining the Competitive Advantage (Hardcover)
I found this to be a good book on the subject, but possibly not as straightforward as others on developing a game plan for winning government based Tender & Bid business.

Probably a really good second text / complimentary read to the more 'mechanical' basic books on the subject.
