Review:
The major strengths that I feel relate to student use are: readability, coverage of important topics, and applicability to the "real world." These advantages are derived primarily from the student comments concerning the text. Another advantage for students that I see is the inclusion of the definitions in the margins of the pages. I find myself referring to these quite a bit during class, and certainly encourage students to take advantage of them.
I adopted this text because it coincided with my emphasis in the class. I integrated information about the global marketplace, technology, and ethics into all chapters in previous texts. This text did that for me. It also gave viewpoints from a female perspective more often than other texts I had used.
I like the clear learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter as well as the charts/diagrams because they are clear to understand. I like the tie-in with major corporations, which makes the material more understandable to the student.
The greatest strength for this book is that the students like it. It is easy to read and understand. As several students have told me, "this book is a book I will keep." The approach using planning, organization, leadership, and control sections in the book is also an advantage. Students really understand the importance of those functions due to the book division.
I like this text because it covers the material appropriate to the course comprehensively, it presents ideas clearly, and it is at an appropriate level for my students.
