Rainbow Series

One of the fundamental elements of JADE’s mission is to foster the knowledge exchange and experience transfer among Junior Entrepreneurs in the network. One of the most important tools to do so is the Rainbow Book Series. This is a series of handbooks dealing with topics relevant to the Junior Enterprises, from starting up a Junior Enterprise to Quality Management of a Junior Enterprise.
The Rainbow Books are written by several experts in the JADE network, who summarize and benchmark the different practices of Junior Enterprises in order to identify best practices. The Books are updated regularly.

The only publicly available Rainbow Book is the White Book (pdf, 250kb).
