International cases and application problems make the material more “real” for students.
Each section includes one or more cases with discussion questions. The case solutions show students how to use the text content to solve the problem. Although these cases generally relate to a single learning objective, the assignable cases at the end of each chapter are more comprehensive.
Engaging whiteboard animations keep your students engaged.
Whiteboard animations are offered at various points in each chapter, allowing a walk-through of key concepts via an animated lecture. As the video plays, an illustrator uses dynamic drawings to keep the audience hooked and wondering what is going to be drawn next. Students can use these videos to review challenging content or key concepts.

- Clear Learning Objectives
Each chapter section is organized around four learning objectives (LOs). These LOs have an exercise/activity/question/video to “activate students” with figures and tables that illustrate the content. At the end of each LO, students complete an application of the content, reinforcing the concepts covered and providing a practical application of the content to enable student mastery. - Career Center Resources
These resources prepare students for future professions with Inside Track, a career coaching system, and CareerShift, a leading job search tool. Students also have access to Career Coach Videos and an ePortfolio guide.
