Business in Action Summary

Business in Action by Andrew Gillespie

This new text aims to bring real life business situations to the classroom and student. Modern business situations will be discussed in the context of specific business. All major business topic areas are covered in an interesting and lively manner. As demanded by synoptic papers - the interactive nature of the business world is explored. This is not a textbook, but a supplementary resource for all classrooms to promote thought and discussion. Questions to aid the synoptic element feature at the back of the book.

Business in Action Reviews

The synoptic approach and the up-to-date real life examples are very useful for A2 (second year) students. -- Linda Andrews, Guildford College 20020923 There is a clear possibility of students finding this book aspirational. In the process of using it, they will be given a full and well-researched account of what business is and what it does. Given these insights, they will then be able to match this to their own interests and capabilities. -- Education Review 20030707
