Business: A Changing World is the fastest growing introductory business
textbook on the market, and for a simple reason. Unlike most brief textbooks on the
market, which are trimmed and spliced from much longer works into an approximation of an
essentials edition,
Business: A Changing World is written from the ground up
to be brief, lean, and flexible enough to enable you to cover just the topics you want at
the level of depth you want, plus it doesn't inherit out-dated examples from a hardback
derivative. With market-leading teaching support and the most up to date content
available,
Business: A Changing World represents the best value
available in the brief Introductory Business market. What sets Ferrell apart? An unrivaled
mixture of topical depth, current content, and the best teaching support around.
