It should hold relevancy for more years. The book is clear in the writing that can be easily read. Business terms are well represented and explained thoroughly. The material is written well for a student's first time learning business and how to apply it to what is happening around them. The book is consistent from chapter to chapter.
The sources of material are well represented. Visuals compliment the written material. The chapters are seamless with transition from topic to topic. It could easily be broken up into sections of reading during certain points in the course. This text seems to be set up well for student team work to learn on each important topic of business basics.
Chapters are organized in a good way to learn all material and have it related to each former chapter. Personally I will be teaching the chapters in a different order to complement a business plan being created by students. The book could use a few more visuals for students to relate to the material. Some of the visuals could use improvement, but as for the written material, it is clear and written well for beginners understanding business.
Globalization section addresses cultural differences in a way that is not culturally insensitive or offensive in any way. It used examples of variety of countries and global management practices. Comprehensiveness rating: 4 see less. With a publication date, it is up-to-date and should have a shelf life of several years. The material is easily accessible to the Introduction to Business student. Well written and the material flows well. Consistency format for each of the chapters and interspersed well with photos, charts, and real-world stories.
The layout presents the material well and is easy to read. Chapter lengths and the length of the entire text fit well with the organization of a class over a semester. I might organize the material a bit differently as the Global and Ethics items are early in the text and I might bump them to later in the term after additional terminology is learned and can be applied to that material.
That said, overall the text is laid out logically and "like" content is connected in successive chapters, e. On the contrary, I think the text tackles diversity head on and provides a good review of the 21st Century workplace and marketplace.
The material is appropriate for an introductory course to serve The material is appropriate for an introductory course to serve as the foundation for general business or to move on to a concentration in any of these business disciplines.
Chapter 15 focuses on the hospitality and tourism industry. This is a very specific chapter embedded within the book about an industry while the rest of the book is mostly general information that could be applied to any number or types of organizations. Still, out of 17 chapters there are 15 solid chapters that provide great content and overview of the subject matter.
The book is written in an easy to read format with no noticeable grammatical errors or formatting issues. It is easy to find topics within chapters based on the layout, fonts, etc.
The information itself is rooted in fundamental concepts of each chapter's topic or subject matter within the business discipline and there are no overt attempts to lead the reader in a particular manner to form bias or opinions, other than to establish critical thinking of topics. While there are some examples that may seem somewhat dated, they are explained in a manner that is easy to understand and they are relevant or "fit" within the context of the chapters and course concepts being discussed.
The book is quite lengthy but given the 17 chapters that is to be expected. The author could probably eliminate two chapters on ancillary material to make it a shorter text but the chapters are not unnecessarily bloated for the sake of adding more vocabulary or unnecessary graphics. The book uses easy to understand language, explains course concepts and terminology, and reinforces abstract ideas with examples.
Overall it does a good job of relaying topics that are being introduced to students for the first time. The text remains consistent in present tense tone of voice, chapter structure is organized consistently throughout the text, and the use of masculine vs. One could easily pick up this course text and only read select chapters that were of interest. Gaining an understanding of the legal topics Chapter 5 Forms of Business Ownership was not necessary to learning about subsequent chapters such as Marketing, HR, economics, etc.

There is a very logical structure with the early chapters discussing types of business formation, teamwork, and ethics before moving to more operational activities such as financing, marketing, management and so forth.
A few chapters could be reorganized. The book could use more graphs, pictures, diagrams, etc. There are no noticeable grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors. There are a few figures that are either not labeled or are not appropriately referencing the course text where they are presented, leaving "floating images" in some places that have no meaning to the topic discussed. Figure 7. There is a photo of someone's arm by a laptop and notepad next to sections discussing operational plans and planning for contingencies or crises.
Gender neutral language is used throughout the course text and no offensive references are made or examples presented. The textbook examples cover a wide array of businesses, industries, and geographical reference points.
