Hoover's Handbook of Emerging Companies

Get the story behind 600 of today's most dynamic growth companies, including Crocs, maker of trendy footwear; Build-A-Bear Workshop, where kids can design and outfit their own stuffed animals; and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, a casual dining chain whose signature burger features bacon and a fried egg. Hoover's Handbook of Emerging Companies covers selected U.S. public companies with sales between $10 million and $1 billion, at least three years of reported sales, at least 20% sales growth during that time, and positive net income for the most recent fiscal year. We've made a few exceptions to these rules to include some really interesting companies that don't quite fit these criteria. The book also features lists of the fastest-growing companies from Inc. and other top business publications. - Publisher.
