Description

For Introduction to Business courses.

Ebert/Griffin focuses on the four ways to approach business-- as an employee, as an owner or a boss, as a customer, or as an investor-- to help students understand the relevance of studying business to their own lives.

Features

For Introduction to Business courses.

How do you help students see that studying business is relevant to their own lives?

The Business Prologue defines a framework of four ways to look at business- as an employee, as an owner or a boss, as a customer, or as an investor- to help students understand the relevance of the study of business to their own lives. The framework is referred to throughout the text, where appropriate, to further relate the study of business to students' own lives.

“What’s In It for Me?”- Opening each chapter, this section highlights the key aspects of the chapter and illustrates how these concepts are relevant to students' future careers in business.

OTHER KEY POINTS OF DISTINCTION:

How do your students check their understanding of the material they are learning?

Self-Check Questions appear at three points during each chapter, allowing students to check their understanding of a concept before moving on to the next topic. The answers to these questions are located in the back of the book.

How do you bring business examples into the course to give students more applied practice?

Building Your Business Skills activities are extended business problems presented throughout the text that ask students to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills..

Video Exerices give students the opportunity to see how real business people apply concepts to help them in their daily lives.

How do your bring ethics into your course?

Exercising Your Ethics allows students to explore ethical dilemmas and use critical thinking skills to solve them.

Team Exercises can be found in each chapter to give students the experience of working collaboratively to tackle ethics issues.

How do you cover leadership in your course?

Chapter 9 is a new chapter on leadership and decision-making. This chapter covers the most up-to-date leadership approaches, discussing such topics as strategic leadership, ethical leadership, virtual leadership, examining leaders as coaches, as well as gender and cross-cultural issues in leadership.

How do you cover the changes in business due to IT in your course?

Chapter 13 is an all new chapter covering the effect of IT on business. This chapter explores not only the effects of IT, but also the IT resources have and the threats and challenges that these resources present.

How do you cover entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in your course?

Entrepreneurship and New Ventures boxes have been extensively updated.
