The text has many excellent exercises and problems. Many problems are easy for the students to get started with due to the use of a suggested form or format and in some cases a reference to a chapter exhibit.
The self-study problems were useful and practical. They also provide models for some of the homework assignments.
I have always enjoyed using the Ingram text. I have particularly enjoyed the instructor supplement explaining cooperative learning and giving a plan for each chapter. I have used that as much as any other supplement I received.
Chapter 9 is concise, easy to read, and the material flows very well. Decision making was introduced in the chapter as being an essential element of a successful business.
