2008 Axiom Business Book Awards

"Recognizing and promoting the world's best business titles."

Announcing the 2008 Axiom Business Book Awards, designed to honor the year's best business books and their authors and publishers. The new book awards program will accept entries until November 30, 2007, for books with 2006 or 2007 copyrights or that were released in 2006 or 2007. The new contest is presented by Jenkins Group Inc., a Michigan-based book publishing and marketing services company that has operated the popular Independent Publisher Book Awards contest since 1996.

The Axiom Business Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary business books and their creators, with the understanding that businesspeople are a very well-read and well-informed segment of the population, eager to learn about great new books that will inspire and inform them and help them improve their careers and businesses.

The new awards program will recognize books in a wide range of categories, 26 in all, from Salesmanship to Personal Finance and Entrepreneurship to Philanthropy. The list includes categories of books intended for professionals (International Business/Globalization) and for general consumers (Retirement Planning), books about businesspeople (Memoir/Biography), and books meant to motivate and entertain (Business Fable—Fiction).

"With so many large companies currently downsizing, there's a more entrepreneurial climate in the business world today," says Jenkins. "All kinds of new enterprises are being created by some very talented people, and they keep up on the latest trends and new ideas through reading. These awards are meant to bring great books and great businesspeople together."
