Hi All

Looking for recommendations of stories involving people suddenly having to take over a business at high level.

I have read several great stories like Interesting Times by Ernest Bywater and Parents away by Harry Bill.

Can anyone suggest anymore good reads?

Thanks

In Oyster50's Community stories business is a key subject and there is at least one place where they take over a failing business (at least that's how I'm remembering it.)

In 'Finding Home' by Ernest Bywater, the protagonist winds up taking over his family's business empire when they are all killed in a traffic accident and its fallout.

Depends on what you call a high level and how big a business. In Flames of Life the main character has to change his life and work and he inherits a farm that's a going concern and becomes it's manager. In each of the stories while the business management and building is a key part they aren't the core part of the story.

There's a similar theme in a few other stories:

The MC builds a business as part of the story.

One of my favorite story about business is The Millionaire Next Door:

Guardian Angel by DeYaKen might fit into your description although it is more akin to regaining control than actually taking over.

In Dual Writer's "Florida Friends" series, business creation is more common than taking over, but I recall several instances of the protagonists acquiring existing business, followed usually by folding into a corporate family and expansion.
