After the hardest hitting recession in living memory, 
Irish business were left shell-shocked. A generation of business owners and 
managers, who had been conditioned to only consider solutions that involved 
throwing (borrowed) money at a problem, were compromised by the bust and 
ill-equipped to deal with the challenges they faced.
Providing a framework to help businesses successfully trade through 
challenging economic conditions, this book sets out the seven principles (Seven 
Cs) of business recovery developed by the author based on his experience and 
expertise in the area of corporate business recovery. With a chapter devoted to 
each, the Seven Cs of Business Recovery are: 
  - Council (Advice)
  
- Communication 
  
- Co-operation
  
- Clarity (of Purpose)
  
- Costs
- Cash
- Customers
Presented in a clear and accessible style, this book is based on reality, not 
theory, and provides sound business advice. All of the principles and skills 
described are illustrated by real-life examples from the author's experience of 
working with and advising Irish businesses.
This title is also published as The Seven Cs 
of Business Recovery – an eBook for Kindle, available from Amazon.
