	Japanese Business Novels
		Each of the four business novels deals with some of the challenging issues faced by companies and businessmen at the time the novels were written.
		Business novels provide an excellent way for a businessperson to learn about psychology, politics, and strategy, much in the same way as American graduate business schools use case studies to teach students.
		In addition to the subplots of romance and intrigue, Japanese business novels have achieved great popularity because of the insights they provide to a company's inner workings and the psychological makeup of people in the business world and because of the high level of importance Japanese society places on industrial development and economic growth.

	"Atlas Shrugged" in the Business School
		Many graduate business students are already in the world of entrepreneurship, manufacturing, and finance and undergraduate business students aspire to soon be in the corporate world.

		Rand’s business heroes are independent, rational, and committed to the facts of reality, to the judgment of their own minds, and to their own happiness.

	Novel - MSN Encarta
		Because novels are long—generally 200 pages or more—novelists can tell more richly detailed tales than can authors of briefer literary forms such as the short story.
		For example, writers can produce novels that have the tension of a drama, the scope of an epic poem, the type of commentary found in an essay, and the imagery and rhythm of a lyric poem.
		Like the people in the Bible, the novel’s characters may search for God and have their own particular dreams and ideals, but unlike many biblical characters, the characters in novels are generally presented as people without spiritual missions and destinies.

	Novel, Romance, and Gothic: Brief Definitions
		Doubtless the main difference between the novel and the romance is in the way in which they view reality.
		Authors of such novels set their stories in the medieval period, often in a gloomy castle replete with dungeons, subterranean passages, and sliding panels, and made plentiful use of ghosts, mysterious disappearances, and other sensational and supernatural occurrences; their principal aim was to evoke chilling terror by exploiting mystery, cruelty, and a variety of horrors.
		The live burial that is a favorite conventual punishment in Gothic novels derives much of its horror not from the buried person's loss of outside activities (that would be the horror or dead burial), but from the continuation of a parallel activity that is suddenly redundant.

	The Business by Iain Banks
		A business exec on a mobile phone who's just had half his teeth taken out after a night on the town, trying to convince our heroine, Kate Telman, that he is not drunk.
		It seems as though The Business is a hybrid between a nation state and a large corporation.
		There's a couple of passages where Kate discusses her own morals and that of The Business with her fellow executives which are really quite really quite revealing (like that old chestnut about going back in time and killing Hitler before he did any real harm).

	The Business - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amongst coworkers, family, friends, acquaintances, or other associates, the phrase "the business" is literally a reference to an operation, typically a for-profit commercial agency, where such persons may find it somewhat redundant to refer to the official name of the referenced business that such persons would all be very familiar with
		One person would give another person "the business" by the first person deceiving the second person, or by demeaning them, or abusing them in some fashion, as a cliché
		The Business, slang for sexual intercourse, especially in reference to someone one feels is worthy of sexual attention: "I would give her the business"

	How to Write a Novel
		Almost every time I tell someone I have written a novel, I get the response, "Oh, I've always wanted to write a novel." But most people never write that book because writing a novel can be a daunting, overwhelming task.
		No matter what the novel is on, you need to know what you're talking about; otherwise, people just won't want to hear what you have to say.
		Talent and inspiration can't be taught, but the author does give helpful, sensible rules and principles that will free a writer to face that novel's intimidating first page, keep him on track when he falters, and help him analyze the problems with his novel when he's done.

	The Business - Iain Banks
		The story focusses on Kathryn, a high-level executive in the Business, a mega-company that's been around for thousands of years and is devoted simply to capitalistic success.
		The descriptions of the Business and Kathryn's own rich life are a treat, and the spectre of darker things lurking in the background keeps a reader on edge.
		The Business is still a fun read, but its first half is so much stronger than the second that it feels disappointing.

	The Business Novels of Jeff Cox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		All but one were collaborations with business people who were prominent in their fields.
		I had been writing exclusively about business for twenty years (actually even longer than that counting the time I worked in public relations during the 1970s), and I had done it very well, but it was time to write about something else.
		I will probably include a brief guide to writing and publishing a business novel (or any type of didactic fiction), and perhaps some new fiction as an experiment in telling a story in hypertext, which has been a goal of mine for some time.

		Business clients also need not modify their code when annotations attached to the method change.
		For the business concern's implementation all that matters is that the operation performed is the "credit operation." It does not know (or need to know about) values in any other dimension.
		I've also shown you a novel way to conceptualize metadata as a signature in a multidimensional concern space, a usage that has as much relevance for developers creating metadata types outside the AOP paradigm as those working in it.

	A Novel Plan, Business Plans Article - Inc. Magazine Article
		In the course of the present-day story, Stephenson makes his most telling observation: in today's increasingly entrepreneurial culture, building a business is the way those who seek adventure pursue their dreams.
		That may be true in the cash-rich culture of high tech, but it doesn't explain why a hipster novelist like Stephenson would include his take on the language and conventions of the modern business plan--a wickedly insightful take--in a major work.
		He remains struck by how important it is to be able to write a good business plan, how the definite, sometimes glib, jargon (for example, every aspect of the business must "increase shareholder value") meshes with the serious purpose underlying every effective plan.

		When Novel Aker's wife loses her last remaining relatives in a shocking accident, she uses the proceeds of the estate to start the business of her dreams, a weight-loss clinic, the Sneeze 'n' Tone, in Gruel, South Carolina.
		In his research, Novel addresses the true history of Gruel, grappling with questions that have nagged at his subconscious, but he hasn't the imagination to construct the whole picture.
		Distracted by an abundance of curiosity and paranoia about his Gruel neighbors, Novel is the perfect foil for the nefarious dealings of this quirky town, a hopeful man, disinclined to cynicism unless pushed to the edge of believability.
