Not that great
Reviewed in the United States on 10 September 2021Verified Purchase
It was required for my MBA class, I had to read it in 1 month for summer class and nothing really comes to mind about what I remember from this book, just a few months later. Glad it was cheap! ~ $35 for a college textbook

Does NOT Come with Connect Code
Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2016Verified Purchase
Just a heads up, this did not come with the necessary connect code to complete the homework and quizzes. I had to drop an additional $130 to buy it online from the publisher. Do yourself a favor and either buy the book somewhere else that provides the code, or rent the thing and buy the Connect code yourself.

Well it's a textbook and I only purchased this because it was required for a class, with that being said this was one of the better text that I had to purchase. It's very informative and easy to read.
