      The interior design profession continues to be impacted by numerous challenges. Technology enhancements, various uses of the Internet, and social media platforms force practitioners to find new ways to work and market. Economic highs and lows are always providing opportunities or threats to any size business. The Internet allows even the sole practitioner the opportunity to work internationally. The sophistication of the client creates challenges that did not exist a mere 20 years ago. And, finally, though not the end of the challenges, is the ongoing battle for the interior designer's right to practice.

      This is a book about interior design business practices. It is a resource for students to learn about the business side of interior design. Professionals will find it to be a comprehensive presentation of business topics relevant to owning and managing an interior design practice.

      The various challenges faced by designers require the professional interior designer to not only be a creative problem solver but a sophisticated business manager. Clients expect excellent creative work and they assume the designer is competent in business dealings as well. They are unafraid to challenge designers even, sue or at least bluster, if they feel the designer has done something “wrong.”

      That is why this book continues to maintain its comprehensive content. Since the first publication of this book in 1989, the content has been built on the author's СКАЧАТЬ
