1.0 out of 5 stars many writing errors, November 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cengage Advantage Books: A Primer for Management (with InfoTrac Printed Access Card) (Paperback)
the writing of this book is too bad. There are many simple grammar errors. I do not know why so many instructors use it as textbook. Compared with the textbook I bought in the same time "operation management", I doubt this book is counterfeit.

Do not buy this textbook if not taking the class.
