Review:
I feel that this text is excellent overall. The use of flow charts is wonderful. The language is plain, simple, and very readable. Overall the coverage and organization are both excellent. The features are uniformly wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the real world examples. Business Online and Internet applications are great ideas.

The Madura text is more current in data and relevant information. It is up to date with businesses that are currently doing business and the pictures are current to today's market place. The people in the pictures can be identified with as current business people. This adds credibility and reality to the material. It is a lot easier to teach when students can identify what is taught with reality rather than the abstract. This text goes a long way to help achieving that goal.

Madura has done an overall outstanding job in his presentation of the text with all of the necessary ancillary materials included.
