Your Business Review series is excellent. While this series was not designed for CLEPs or any of the other standardized examinations universities use to test accomplished areas of knowledge, I have found the entire series crucial for just that. Particularly as I am entering an MBA program. These volumes were precisely what I needed, and I have been telling everyone with even slight interest in these topics about them. Specifically, I am referring to the following books of the series (by title): Accounting, Business Statistics, Economics, Finance, Management, and Marketing.

This book provides a complete knowledge in most simplistic language and explains the management subject in brief. It is very easy for a working executive to understand and practice the various concepts . A must for distance education students.

Even though I paid extra for expidited shipping, this book came to me the day before I had to take the CLEP. I crammed all day, took the test the next morning and PASSED!

this book was required for a class. it does a good job of explaining management history and techniques without being redundant and boring.

I studied this book and passed the CLEP with a 71. It has all you need to know, and then some. Highly recommended.

I use and have used several textbooks on the basic theories and processes involved in management fundamentals. Most of which are absolutely awful in there use at learning the fundamentals. They, as many textbooks do, make the assumption that the student of management is somehow already well versed in many of the must know theories and processes and therefore start off midway in the development of the student instead of at the beginning. This little book on the other hand makes no such grandiose and incorrect assumptions and instead leads the reader on a well-paced and well thought out journey through the art and science that we call management. A very good book, that I would myself use as a textbook if it only cost a hundred dollars more.... Frankly, as a student of management you could not do much better if your attempt is to somehow gain, at a very low cost, a fairly well encompassing overview of management. The only shortcomings that I see in this text, and honestly, it does a better job than most "professional" textbooks in this area, is the too short discussions on the leaders and great thinkers of management. Beyond those shortcomings, this is an excellent book that I refer to when trying to interpret the "professional" textbooks for my students learning the fundamentals of management.

This book is used as a textbook for my English classes in Russia. The book is one big disappointment offering wrong explanations, wrong classifications and emphasizing wrong things. It is based not on reasearch but on other textbooks and authors' bad education.

A quick example: a network organization has nothing to do with employees out of the office. There aren't structured and non-structured interviews, and so on and so forth.

This is a great book. I received the book is good condition. The previous owner really took care of this book and she delievered on her promise.

I have bought 16 books as a head of my group in the university - we need them for our English lessons. All books were new and fine, everyone was happy about them. So, I could recommend them for others.

Excellent book, it brings a lot of idea and techniques por many managers get better results on their day by days situations in small comtany to a big enterprice.
