 Good textbook February 12, 2003

We were required to buy this textbook for our Engineering Economics class at UT-Austin. I found this book helpful as an introduction to business. It gave us quite a number of examples and review questions to help us understand the major concepts. Even though the book may have contained a little too much information, I really liked it since I learnt a lot from it.
Just a text book January 9, 2007

Hard to understand the content of the book. The basic meaning is not difficult. But the way the book descripts the theories/meanings is really hard to understand.
Just a textbook.
 Eh... December 17, 2007
Bailey Z. Rose (Orlando, FL)
We students had no choice but to use this book, as homework problems in class were assigned from the book... but as a textbook, I didn't like it. There are examples, but they frankly suck. The book makes assumptions without explaining them adequately, and the text is rife with small errors and typos.
This isn't a difficult subject, but the text manages to make learning it tedious and often confusing.
Still... a necessity for those enrolled in courses that require this text.
