Industry Reviews
"This second edition does not read like a typically dry textbook but is informative, engaging, and relevant to the work environment, incorporating current events and contemporary business issues in a meaningful way, and relating these to theoretical models which are thoroughly but not heavily presented" * Stephen Millard, Senior Teaching Fellow, School of Business and Management, Buckinghamshire New University, UK *
"The text is written in a lively style which will keep the interest of undergraduates. The context is excellent and the activities, which are generally well designed, help to consolidate ideas that have been raised in the chapters. I would not hesitate to recommend the text to students (on 1st edition)" * Cheryl Lim, Visiting Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, UK *
"The text demonstrates a balance between theory and practice lacking in many of the texts that are currently available in the marketplace. The examples, activities and case studies used by the authors are wide-ranging. For students studying the Business Environment, this text has a sound structure and meets the theoretical requirements. Additionally, the practical nature of the exercises/examples meet the needs of modules - particularly in terms of developing knowledge, understanding and core skills in students (on 1st edition)" * Dr David Lai, Lecturer in International Business and Business Policy, Aberdeen Business School, The Robert Gordon University, UK *
