Foundations of Business - Tapa blanda

"The material does a very good job of covering the current state of business and provides a solid foundation ." "The material was presented in a simple manner even though some of it can be considered complex. A well done chapter on a difficult-to-present topic in an introduction to business course. I am rather 'blown away' by this chapter as you don't see your competitors doing such a great job with this as you have done." "Although the Introduction to Business course is considered an "overview" course--there must be a balance between the macro and micro perspective. Too much exclusion of detail compromises the students' understanding of the big picture. This text provides an excellent balance." "I really like this book. It is user friendly for all ages, at all stages of one's life." "I think this chapter presents the subject in a clear and concise manner. Accounting is a difficult topic for the students to grasp. Many begin college as accounting majors and change majors into other business programs. I think the authors do a fine job and make the concepts understandable."
