Business: a changing world with student cd and olc (5th ed )

Business: A Changing World by Ferrell/Hirt/Ferrell is the fastest growing introductory business textbook on the market, and for a simple reason.

With market-leading teaching support and the most up to date content available, Business: A Changing World represents the best value available in the brief Introductory Business market. What sets Ferrell apart? An unrivaled mixture of topical depth, current content and the best teaching support around.
