The top book in the field with the 1997 version stiill #1,
By kardoffa@kic.or.jp (Okinawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Business (The Dryden Press Series in Management) (Hardcover)
Boone and Kurtz continue their mastery in
writing business books for business and
nonbusiness students with this edition. The
original version was in hard cover and an
interim edition was put out in paperback: The
1997 version has just been released and it
excels, too. The chapters are very well
written with superb examples, great end-of-
chapter video cases, and a solid support
package. The instructor's manual is very
helpful and comprehensive, too. Sadly, the
authors joined the pack by relegating business
law to an appendix. However, sometimes even
leaders follow. If there is a better intro. to
business book than this, let someone present it. At least a few graduate schools use it at the beginning of their master's programs in business and management, too.
The best news is that the new version is out.
However, this version can be used with relevance
very appropriately over the next decade.

This review is from: Contemporary Business 2000 (Paperback)
I'm taking an on-line college course, and this is this textbook. It's full of up-to-date information that relates well to today's business world. An excellent introduction book to the fascinating world of business.
