Articles of Faith July 9, O level Pakistan studies guess paper — Expected source based The organization was well thought out and aligned with the design of an introduction to business course well. There was little need to skip around during the semester which can cause students confusion.
The graphs and navigation were easily used and free of errors. There were clear explanations of the images and charts that expanded on the content being presented. Navigating this text was very user-friendly and straightforward. The cultural relevance of the imagery in the text lacked diversity. The photos represented many women but very few people of color. The examples throughout the text showed examples of successful individuals as white males.
There was a section in each chapter that discussed cases and problems that provided great topic starters for a class session. These could be expanded for more comprehensive assignment work but were great for low-stakes assignments and ice breakers. Very professionally-constructed textbook. On-par or greater than commercially-produced books from the major publishers. Very relevant for the pre-pandemic business world.
I have utilized the text for two courses, and I cannot recall finding any technical errors with the book. Many recent business stories are used as examples in teaching fundamental concepts.
This really increases the relevancy and integrity of the text. The authors do not shy away from trendy subjects, products or people. For example, a lot of references to Elon Musk, China, Google, etc. Each chapter has a glossary of key terms and a summary of learning outcomes.
A few of the end-of-chapter activities could be more explicit. The associated instructor materials also lack detail in this area. Hard to get more modular than seventeen chapters and an appendix! I moved chapter 14 behind chapters 15 and 16, but this was not a "no-brainer" adjustment. The chapter lengths were long-enough to be comprehensive without being too long.
I liked the final chapter that focused on business careers. Would potential consider teaching topic this Week 1. The text and associated instructor materials are of very high quality appearance. The images, and videos are excellent. As with most texts, a few hyperlinks no longer work, but that is a teachable moment for students as well! Did not notice any offensive or insensitive content, but this topic could be an area of additional content or an appendix given recent cultural events in the U.
The "cancel culture" impact is real, and businesses and their employees need to learn about potential ramifications of their words and actions. Really liked this book, as well as the instructor materials that suggested appropriate video links. I would like to see more end-of-chapter activities with more in-depth assessment prompts. There are plenty of open-ended, critical thinking prompts, but more structured activities would be welcome too.
This textbook appropriately touches upon all areas of business necessary in giving students a broad overview of how businesses operate. I appreciate that it goes one level beyond the business core of human resources, marketing, financial I appreciate that it goes one level beyond the business core of human resources, marketing, financial accounting, and management by covering topics such as business ownership and pricing strategies.
The topics presented are up-to-date and relevant. The author takes an unbiased look at business from every angle. I appreciate the use of modern, real-world examples to give students a more in-depth understanding of these business topics, which are otherwise abstract and intangible.
Some of these business concepts are hefty and more in-depth than one would expect for an introductory book, but they are covered in great detail and at length so that students can process the information by looking at graphs, charts, and examples in addition to just reading the definition of concepts. All of the information presented appears to be consistent with what I've found in other sources and as is understood by today's business community.
Though there are large blocks of text at times, the author does place graphics, charts, and other visuals to help add diversity in the reading. Though there are a wide range of topics covered, each chapter is broken down into sub-topics to help students locate material as well as learn the concepts in a thorough manner.
My only suggestion would be to offer the financial and accounting chapters earlier in the text book because they are topics often seen as intimidating to students, and students may have anxiety over covering those topics near the end of the book.
However, instructors can choose to have students learn the topics in any order, and even omit sections not deemed as vital as others.
Images and displays looked appropriate. Visual aids added to the learning experience and did not distract from the subjects being presented. This text is not culturally insensitive. I would even encourage the use of recent social or political examples to show how they are impacting the business realm i. I have already used this book once for my Business Concepts class and recommend its use for other faculty wishing to find a comprehensive business text books for students.
It's very in-depth. Sometimes I feel like it might be more in-depth than an introductory text. I teach a class that is supposed to be for non-business majors, and I think some more general information might be better.
For all that though, I I supplemented with other material, but I think that would give some context to some of the discussions.
I think it's very up to date. Some of the other books I looked at were using very old concepts, and this seems quite contemporary. The examples of current business leaders are great and they offer diverse points of view. Some of the information on economics was potentially confusing, as it went more in-depth than I would imagine an introductory business text to go. I am rearranging some of the chapters to make some common concepts, like control and financial measures, be presented closer together.
Yes, I think it uses the correct and current phraseology you would expect to see as students transition to jobs. I very much like the way the book is designed. It's definitely small, workable sections, with the exception of one chapter which covers planning, control and decision-making, which could have been at least a couple of smaller chapters.
I did change the chapters around, but that might just be my personal preference. I tried to group the chapters by how they worked internally and externally, but as I said this might be just the way that makes sense to me. Some of the charts we a little too wordy. I would prefer a cleaner chart with less words. I like what the charts are showing us, but I think they could be cleaner and easier to visualize.
I think they do a good job with this.
