Summary: Verbiage Verbiage Verbiage
Comment: I am taking a business management class that uses this book as its textbook. What a snoozer this book is. It is absolutely, undeniably, inexcusably, frustratingly TOO WORDY! It uses way, way, way too much text to explain concepts. These guys need to retake a class in business communication, since they seem to have forgotten one of the most important aspects of business communication: BE CONCISE AND TO THE POINT.

This book is as dry as the Sahara, and is more sleep-inducing than a big mug of Kava Kava cocktail.

Summary: Another typical poorly written over priced text-book
Comment: I found this book to be poorly written and edited. The text is dry, unclear and boring. Although some of the cases were good I felt that they lacked enough information to make a decent analysis. It would have been better if they had focused on quality rather then quantity.

Summary: Book is fine, but where's the software!!
Comment: I've been using the book for a couple of months now, don't be fooled by the information that says you can download the software from the web. It's not there! Only a teaser demo program. In fact, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Now I don't have the time or instructions to special order it.

Hey Thompson and Strickland, quit being so cheap and include the software with the book or put it on the web! The download method is not working and I find it quite frustrating. I would give the book more stars if the much hyped software was actually available.
