Media Reviews
What differentiates the book is the application of theory to topical case studies, which gives the book a fresh, contemporary perspective. This approach enables students to effectively contextualise challenging subject matter. The structure of introducing the environmental factors in part one followed by the exploration and application of them to key global and national issues in part two is a fantastic approach * Giles McClelland, University of Central Lancashire *
I have yet to come across an alternative Business Environment textbook to rival Wetherly & Otter. * Dr Jan Green, Glyndwr University *
