THE SUCCEEDING IN BUSINESSTM SERIES
Because you’re ready for more. Increasingly students are coming into the classroom with stronger computer skills. As a result, they are ready to move beyond “point and click” skills and learn to use these tools in a way that will assist them in the business world.
You’ve told us you and your students want more: more of a business focus, more realistic case problems, more emphasis on application of software skills and more problem-solving. For this reason, we created the Succeeding in Business Series.
The Succeeding in Business Series is the first of its kind designed to prepare the technology-savvy student for life after college. In the business world, your students’ ability to use available tools to analyze data and solve problems is one of the most important factors in determining their success. The books in this series engage students who have mastered basic computer and applications skills by challenging them to think critically and find effective solutions to realistic business problems.
We’re excited about the new classroom opportunities this new approach affords, and we hope you are too.
