Getting Organized

CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives)   English

Author(s): Christy Anderson Brekken, Joe Hobson

Subject(s): Law: wills, probate, succession, inheritance

Publisher: Oregon State University

Last updated: 01/03/2024

The purpose of this guide is to provide foundational education for farm and ranch families on how to create a basic business succession and estate plan. In working with farm families, we have identified four fundamental goals for the farm succession planning process: (1) preserving family relationships, (2) strengthening the farm business, (3) protecting the owners and operators from business disruptions, and (4) minimizing the complexity and expense of succession and estate plans. With some basic knowledge, you will be educated consumers of legal and financial services, which may save you time and money as you consult with the attorneys, accountants, and other professionals who are key to creating a successful plan. This guide also gives you a starting point as you consider your alternatives and begin family discussions about the roles that each family member or nonfamily member may play in the future of the farm as a business.

Business Writing Style Guide book cover

Business Writing Style Guide

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): John Morris, Julie Zwart

Subject(s): Writing and editing guides

Publisher: Oregon State University

Last updated: 01/03/2024

In light of the cost of textbooks and education in general, we undertook this project to create a free resource to be used broadly by students in a business context. We wanted to provide comprehensive coverage of the writing process, but keep our topics relevant to business education. We hope that this textbook provides equal value to both non- and native-English learners alike. Just like we acknowledge that students will continue to develop their writing skills, we expect this project to challenge and further our own skills as writers.

Classical Sociological Theory and Foundations of American Sociology book cover

Classical Sociological Theory and Foundations of American Sociology

CC BY-SA (Attribution ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): Allison L. Hurst

Subject(s): Sociology

Publisher: Oregon State University

Last updated: 01/03/2024

There are many excellent introductory readers to sociological theory out there. Why another one? The primary reason is that this is an Open Access textbook, free to you, the student, thanks to Oregon State University. We know that textbooks can be very expensive, and we think it is particularly problematic to charge students for access to work that has been published, in its original form, several decades ago. If you wanted, you could find all of the work included here in your local library, although you would have to put together many different books and articles. That is the second reason for this textbook – important passages have been collected for you, assembled here in one handy volume.
