Business, Government and Society: A Managerial Perspective

Business, Government and Society: A Managerial Perspective by George Steiner (Author), John Steiner (Author)

This was without a doubt, the best textbook I have ever read. Not only was it informative, comprehensive and well organized, it was also very interesting! One of the main techniques they used to make it interesting was to start off each chapter with a short story illustrating the idea for that chapter and then ending it with a long case study. They also made good use of definitions in the sidebars that didn't just repeat the text. My only suggestion would be to have a glossary of acronyms, or at least repeat their definition the first time used in each chapter, so that it wasn't necessary to go back and hunt for the meaning of a forgotten acronym.
