EXCERPT:

Aside from the clarity of organization and careful selection of case material, the textbook’s fundamental strength undoubtedly rests in its practical, highly relevant questions, strategically placed throughout each chapter. Sometimes textbooks contain arcane questions that while heuristic in nature, are utterly impractical. This textbook is just the opposite: Its examples are practical in nature, evidencing that its authors are immersed in practice themselves, had the assistance of others who are so immersed, or a combination of both. Students who struggle with discerning the answers to these problems will no doubt be the benefactors of that struggle. In responding to the problems posited, professors have the luxury of using a well-prepared teacher’s manual that shares the authors’ perspectives and supplies proposed solutions.
