Book Description

July 1, 1998
The Y2K Workbook For Small Business is a self paced guide through the Y2K maze. It breaks the Y2K down into its various components and gives the business owner the opportunity to determine the risks to his business and the appropriate steps to take both to fix the problem and to form contingency plans. After a business owner has completed all of the chapters, he will have an overall, prioritized plan of action to ready his business for 2000.

The appendices contain a wealth of useful information: sample letters to vendors and customers, suggested contract language for defining Y2K compliance, manufacturer's compliance status of some popular products, and the status of laws and lawsuits related to Y2K. An accompanying floppy disk contains the sample letters and contract language, Y2K patches from Microsoft for Windows 3.1 and 95, and a handy utility that can automatically changes the century from '19' to '20' if the PC BIOS does not do it itself.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Y2K Workbook for Small Business by Petersen Consulting Group provides a self-paced tutorial for you to understand the full impact of the Y2K problem and then determine the appropriate action and priorities for your business." -- Leon Kothmann, executive director, Texas Rental Association

"The Y2K problem was somewhat overwhelming for me but The Y2K Workbook for Small Business has certainly taken a lot of the worry out of it . . . and saved me more than $15,000. I'll pay the price of this workbook to save $15,000 all day long" -- Tom Faulkner, president, Rector-Duncan & Associates, Inc.

"Y2K is a business problem, not a technical one. With this workbook, our members can formulate an effective business plan for dealing with the Y2K threat. Everyone is concerned, but no one knows where to start. Now they do. The best place to start is with The Y2K Workbook for Small Business." -- David Pinkus, president, Small Business United of Texas --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

The Year 2000 (Y2K) problem is real and it cannot be ignored. Many organizations are behind in their remediation work and they will not finish in time. Very few small businesses are taking the appropriate steps in a timely manner. The information available is overwhelming and often conflicting.

Fortunately this workbook exists to assist and guide small businesses through the major issues related to Y2K. With this workbook, small businesses can identify their major risks, prioritize their work, and successfully work through their remediation. There are 23 million small businesses in the US, according to the Small Business Administration. There are not nearly enough consultants available to help with the Y2K problem. This workbook helps bridge that gap.

The text contained some check lists that are useful but for the most part the book was a real ripe off!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hands-on guide for small business Y2K readiness, November 11, 1998
This review is from: The Y2K Workbook For Small Business (Spiral-bound)
The Y2K Workbook for Small Business is an easy to understand, step by step guide for preparing small businesses for Y2K compliance. It creates an awareness of the issues and offers a straight forward plan to follow. It is important for small businesses to understand that Y2K does not just affect "computers",but rather it can impact the entire bottom line. Y2K preparedness requires an overall business plan and the workbook will be an Indispensable tool for owners and employees. It also contains a disc with model letters to send to vendors, suppliers and customers. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, step by step guide for small businesses, November 7, 1998
This review is from: The Y2K Workbook For Small Business (Spiral-bound)
This is an excellent, step by step workbook for small businesses. It is written from the small business person's perspective and is easy to understand--jargon free. It also has several letter templates for writing customers and vendors. This is an excellent tool for small businesses that need to understand the implications of Y2K for their businesses. One of the key points this workbook undescores, is that being prepared for Y2K doesn't just require getting your computer bugs worked out, but it calls for a well thought-out, overall business plan. The challenge is creating awareness and a sense of urgency. As this review is being written, the year 1999 is less than two months aways. Y2K will be here too soon. A solid business plan is required--this isn't day light savings time, where we just set our clock's up one hour. Small businesses must get ready now and this handbook can be a valuable asset.
