About the author:

His most recent book on Business Planning, CPA's Guide to Developing Effective Business Plans, was first published by Harcourt Brace in 1998 and is already in its second edition. His Hurdle: the Book on Business Planning is in its third printing (and is actually a subset of the manual to Business Plan Pro.) His earlier books were published by McGraw-Hill, Hayden Books, and Dow Jones-Irwin. He also makes regular visits to Jim Blasingame's nationally syndicated radio show the Small Business Advocate, and is a member of the show's brain trust. Berry is also a successful entrepreneur, a co-founder of Borland International in 1983, and a member of its board of directors until it went public in 1986. He founded Palo Alto Software in 1987 and has taken this company to its market leadership position without outside investment. He was a foreign correspondent in the 1970s, living in Mexico City and writing for UPI, Business Week, Business International, and other publications. After receiving his MBA degree in 1981, he was a Vice President at Creative Strategies International before founding his own practice in business plan consulting. As a consultant he developed business plans for Apple Computer's Latin American group from 1982 to 1987, for its Apple Pacific group from 1987 to 1990, and for Apple's Apple Japan group from 1991 to 1994. Berry has a Stanford MBA degree, an MA with honors from the University of Oregon, and a BA magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Oregon, where he teaches Introduction to Entrepreneurship.
