ACCOMPLISHED AUTHORS RALPH STAIR AND GEORGE REYNOLDS CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THEIR READERS TO CLEAR LEARNING OBJECTIVES THAT ARE REINFORCED BY TIMELY, REAL-WORLD BUSINESS EXAMPLES AND HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES. REGARDLESS OF THEIR MAJOR, STUDENTS CAN USE THIS BOOK TO UNDERSTAND AND PRACTICE FUNDAMENTAL IS PRINCIPLES SO THAT THEY CAN FUNCTION MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY AS WORKERS, MANAGERS, DECISION MAKERS, AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS.
