Axiom Business Book Award Winners for 2013 Announced

Here are 69 outstanding business books to inform and entertain

(Traverse City, MI, Mar. 26, 2013)  The stock market is up, unemployment is down, and home sales are finally starting to rise. There’s plenty of bad news, too, especially from Europe… How does a person make sense of such a complicated economy? Read more award-winning business books!

Jenkins Group is proud to announce the results of the sixth annual Axiom Business Book Awards, honoring the best business books published during the past year.  The winning books epitomize the Axiom Award motto, “Success through Knowledge,” by offering a wide array of business information and tools.We all want to do better business, and the Axiom medalists will help business people young and old succeed in a fast-changing world. 

If you’re a baby-boomer worried about retirement savings, The Big Retirement Risk will calm your nerves, as author Erin Botsford maps out your expenses into a “House of Security” with four floors: Needs, Wants, Likes and Wishes.  If you’re a young entrepreneur trying to balance work and family, take some advice from Inc. magazine columnist Meg Cadoux Hirshberg, author of For Better or for Work, who in her chronicle of living and working with husband and co-founder of superstar organic producer Stonyfield Yogurt warns, “There may be no faster route to upsetting your spouse than behaving as if your time is more valuable than his – even if from a revenue standpoint that happens to be true.” 

This year’s Axiom Award-winning books will help readers understand a full range of changing trends and technologies affecting the business world and point out opportunities in the new economy. The authors of Trillions: Thriving in the Emerging Information Ecology explain how we’re going beyond using computers, and are now living in a world of computation that is “blending the digital and physical world into one seamless whole.” They say our obsession with computer literacy is backward -- it’s time for computers to become “human literate” -- and businesses that can eliminate technological boundaries for their customers will prosper. 

What does it take besides tech savvy to thrive in business today? Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck, say the authors of this book designed to help you understand which trait to dial up and achieve your full potential. They explain the traits (Smarts-dominant like Warren Buffett; Guts-dominant like Richard Branson) and provide an Entrepreneurial Aptitude Test to determine your own profile. 

“This year’s Axiom Award winners come from talented authors and publishers of all sizes from all over the English-speaking world,” said awards sponsor and company founder Jerrold Jenkins. 

 “Reading good business books should be part of every serious business person’s routine, and we are proud to bring this list of quality titles to the attention of motivated readers.”
