Clearly and accessibly, the book examines the external and competitive environment of business, as well as the structure, culture, resources and functions inside organisations -- This combination of both the internal and external environment of organisations is unusual, and marks this book out as particularly valuable for courses aiming to give students a rounded introduction to business -- It is written for students on undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in business, or business-related disciplines -- The following online resources support the text -- For Students: self-assessment questions, glossary, revision “flashcards” -- For Instructors: teaching manual, powerpoint slides
