Description
Discover the vibrant energy and challenging excitement found in business today within the engaging, magazine-style pages of Kelly/McGowen's BUSN 2E. Designed specifically for today's learners, BUSN promises to keep the reader turning page after page with a streamlined, riveting design that presents all of the core Introduction to Business topics in only 18 succinct chapters, including a unique chapter on Business Communications. Much more than just another textbook, BUSN 2E directly connects today's reader with what's happening in business today and how it will affect them, whether they are a business major or have other plans. This second edition provides a more reader-focused, less linear, proven learning model, still all at a reader-friendly price. Written by long-time business instructors and developed with first-hand input from today's students, the eye-catching presentation focuses on the business principles most important to the learner's success with less reading, more visuals and manageable chunks of information that ensure the reader understands the concepts on each page. Memorable examples from today relate the business topics to every day life and career success.
Numerous resources tightly integrated with the text, including an interactive website and the latest news feeds, help sharpen business, study, and communication skills while keeping readers motivated and excited about business today.
