NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Student Value Editions also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. For Student Value Editions that include MyLab(tm) or Mastering(tm), several versions may exist for each title -- including customized versions for individual schools -- and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering platforms.

For introductory business courses.

Focus on the practical skills and important developments in business

The recent events in domestic and global economies are presenting unprecedented challenges, excitement, and disappointments for businesses -- and a need for change in introduction to business courses and texts. Business Essentials captures the widespread significance of these developments and presents their implications on companies today. The 12th Edition includes new real-world examples and research findings, helping students to see how entrepreneurs are putting into practice the concepts that they are learning about, and making this text the most current and relevant one available on the market.

Also available with MyLab Intro to Business

By combining trusted authors' content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. 

NOTE: You are purchasing a standalone product; MyLab(tm) Intro to Business does not come packaged with this content. Students, if interested in purchasing this title with MyLab Intro to Business, ask your instructor to confirm the correct package ISBN and Course ID.
