1: Great Condition
the book i purchased was in great condition minus the highlighter marks which was expected and actually helpful
|
2: Great Product and Timely Receipt
I purchased this book for class and it was in practically new condition and I received the product within a week with standard shipping. It was great doing business with this person.

3: Repetitive and just plain awful
This book is a stain on an otherwise solid line-up from McGraw Hill (never mind the usurious prices they charge for their products).
While it raises interesting issues and perspectives on business' role in society, to what extent government is supposed to regulate business, and ethical dilemmas, there is so much overlap of concepts between chapters that it's hard to categorize the information. The lack of clear distinction between concepts makes this book like a mess of 19 chapters that spilled all over each other when they weren't supposed to. Many a time I've finished a chapter and thought to myself, "Didn't I just read a near carbon-copy of that in the previous chapter? Did I learn anything new from this chapter?"
Also, some of the "models" and "frameworks" the book uses to make sense of business-government-society interactions are so ridiculous and contrived. Many of the components tossed into these models seem arbitrarily categorized... as if they could fit into several other categories, as well.
What a piece of garbage this book is.

4: Fast delivery
The book arrives in time and is in good quality. However, the price is considered too high.
