I ordered this book the week prior to the beginning of my classes. It shipped quickly. The textbook is very informative. Every chapter has a crossword puzzle which helps reinforce the terminology and concepts that you just studied. There are cases presented at the end of each chapter which encourage you to really think about businesses and how they are run. I would highly recommend this book.

This book arrived a bit later than scheduled, but I didn't absolutely need it by the time of arrival. It was in great condition, just as stated, and was glad that it actually did arrive in a timely fashion coinciding with the given time I had.

I received the right book just in time my class started. I am so thankful that there is another way to buy college textbook aside from my bookstore. Highly recommended.

This text was published on the cheap. Be forewarned that even the condensation from a glass of ice water, transferred by your hand to the page, can cause a paragraph of text to run easily. The binding is also not well constructed. I would have preferred an electronic edition of this book due to the sheerly poor nature of its print quality. As for the text itself, it is often contradictory and perpetuates myths that have long been debunked in the business world. In one of my favorite examples, the book praises organizational planning and rigid structure, referring to systems that sound like communist five year plans; the book then proceeds to upend its argument by touting that Steve Jobs and Apple Computer have been successful not just in spite of organization structure but rather because they have turned the old concepts upside-down. Some would say this simply shows the book being fair and balanced. Unfortunately, many times it simply comes off somewhere between pedantic and silly.

The book covers all the basics. It's easy to read, and keeps your attention.
