Product Description
Product Description
At heart, commercial awareness is a mindset: an attitude to life, to people, and to business. This book will help you develop that mindset.
From the Publisher
These days, it isn't enough to be technically competent at your job. You need to be commercially aware as well.
This book helps you develop this skill. It helps you relate to people you meet in business. It helps you understand their organisations in terms of structure, strategy and the big issues they face. And it helps you understand the role of money in business - how companies use it to expand and keep score, and how they tap the financial markets.
Whether you are just starting out on your professional career or have reached a point where you need to start relating to your organisation's clients, this book will help give you the edge.

Really useful book,
By Zoe (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All You Need to Know About Commercial Awareness 2009/2010: What it is and Why You Need it to Become a Successful Professional (All You Need to Know Guides) (Paperback)
This is an essential book for anyone hoping to work in business. It has taught me about things such as the stock market, accounting etc that I have never understood before!

As a Law Graduate I'm well aware of the emphasis that Law firms place on candidates being commercially aware.This was the first book I encountered devoted entirely to the subject of commercial awareness and will probably be the last, as it has sufficiently helped me to understand the area and has pointed me in the right direction of further sources to investigate; such as the Economist and the Financial Times. The book contains a bibiliography of books that the author recommends and a Jargon Buster which I will no doubt refer to frequently in the future! I was very satisfied with the information and intend on buying the companion book 'All you need to know about the city', in the foreseeable future.

I am a non-law undergraduate considering a career as a solicitor. I saw this book mentioned on one or two law training websites and decided to have a look. Having now read most of it, I cannot overemphasise just how good this is. I was previously slightly hesitant about becoming a lawyer as I was unsure about many aspects of business, but this has helped me so much. I now understand the basics - which Chris Stoakes explains so clearly - meaning that reading the business pages is now a much more useful (and enjoyable) pursuit. Accordingly, the concerns I had about entering the legal profession have been eased.I am now making my way through Stoakes' other title in this series: "All You Need To Know About the City". Thus far it is proving equally accessible and useful.
