4 Easy Steps to More Effective Writing is a book that is targeted to the needs of Business Professionals. As such, it should also be considered as excellent supplemental reading for the college or graduating high school student. The book introduces the author's easy-to-use four step methodology for developing and executing a Writing Plan. The underlying premise of that methodology is that the key to more effective writing is to develop such a Writing Plan prior to actually attempting to write. The methodology which is called Plan Driven Writing (PDW) was used to write this book. Further, extensive examples and illustrations are included in the book to illustrate exactly how the methodology was employed in writing the book. Therefore, the book serves as an excellent case study on how PDW can be used to develop and write from a plan. Additionally, a series of four Chapter End Problem-Sets guide the reader through each of the four steps of the PDW process for a writing project that the reader selects. The objective of the approach used in writing the book is to equip the reader with the skill level needed to freely use the PDW methodology on future projects subsequent to reading the book.

Although new ventures’ competitive positioning and their founders’ social networks are both recognized as important in the context of transition economies, not much is known about their multiplicative effect on performance. We build on the strategic management literature and social network theory to develop theoretical predictions about the role of competitive strategies and social capital for entrepreneurial performance. These are tested with survey data from Bulgaria. We find that both the venture’s competitive strategic positioning and the founder’s networking positively influence performance. The hypothesized moderating effect of networking for the relationship between differentiation strategy and performance received only tentative support. Contrary to expectations, we find a negative moderating effect of networking for the relationship of cost leadership with performance. These results suggest that the entrepreneur’s network plays a role in shaping how strategies influence performance by possibly upholding differentiation and deemphasizing cost leadership strategy. Implications for managerial practice and public policy are discussed.
