There seems to be quite a few text errors in the book. The text is kinda, I'm not sure how to put it, playful. It is more at a level with beginning high school kids (and I am using it in college) <br /> <br />That aside, the information in the book is OK, but I'm sure there are much better books out there.

That function is to teach one about the basic fundamentals of business. It has interesting anecdotes from time to time, but by and large it is a book for school. Want something entertaining that teaches about business? Find something else. Something that costs way less than this. Rating: 4 / 5 This book serves a function.

Brown Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:15:04 +0000 http://madpropstobakedpotatoes.com/2010/07/understanding-business.html#comment-389 I needed this book for an introductory business college course and it was really useful in helping me understand the fundamentals of business. The book does a good job of explaining the basics at the start and working its way toward more complicated issues at the end. The inclusion of real business ventures and extensive chapter summaries made it easy to follow along and apply the methods taught in the book to real situations.

The definitions are highlighted and defined on the edges of the pages. Sections are divided well, and images captioned with relevant info. The book offers online quizzes and additional material to round out the learning experience. A good buy for Intro to Business courses. Rating: 5 / 5 This book is very clear and easy to read.

There are many examples of real companies and how they relate to the concepts being learned.
