This book was pretty good. I bought it for an online class and the teacher for the class was really bad. I learned nothing from her, but this book was very helpful, easy to read, and I was able to self-teach from it.

I recently purchased this book for my online college course and I found it very helpful in achieving my course completion. For anyone in business or any new hire for a business which results in a management position, I highly recommend this book. It's very informative, covers a wide range of topics in organizational management, and is an excellent and a very comprehensible read.

I needed a book for my online class, which I found on Amazon.com for more than 80 bucks less. I was surprized, skeptical, and almost afraid to place the order over the internet. I remember one of my co-workers mentioning that she had used Amazon.com to order her books for online classes several times. She also mentioned that she was pleased with her order and the length of time it took to receive her order. She gave me a few pointers on how to pick and choose the vendor. So, I took a chance and placed the order. From the time I placed the order until, the time it was delivered to my door; I was very impressed and pleased. I will be purchasing all books and materials from Amazon.com from this point on, and I do highly recommend their services.

These books are so much cheaper than buying on campus and Amazon is so great, that when you are done with it, you can sell it back to them and get a amazon gift card. I love it

I was surprised the book was downloaded and in a notebook. But I was happy that each page was included correctly. It did not interfere with my studies.

Essentials of Contemporary Management turn out to be the best book that is being offer. I have found everything that I need in it.
Thanks,

This book was an older edition but it was perfect for my class. A lot cheaper than the new edition too.

I go to Ashford and their books are sooo expensive. I have been using Amazon for awhile now and I love it and I get my books delivered in a timely manner. Thanks amazon, your a lifesaver!

I wasn't satisfied with the product. However, I could return it without problem. Therefore, overall I think they had good customer service and the business transaction was very good
