Last year I purchased M: Business by O.C. Ferrell for the Introduction to Business course I enrolled in. I really enjoyed this text and felt it complimented the course very well.The texts layout was very easy to read and follow. Important vocabulary was highlighted throughout the text and also defined in the margins of each page. I found this especially helpful when working on homework and studying for exams. This text also provides the reader with up to date examples of different aspects of the text, allowing this generation to easily relate to each of the different examples given.I did find it strange that this text does not provide the reader with a glossary of important vocabulary at the back of the book for quick referencing of definitions. Most other business texts—really most other textbooks in general—provide the reader with a glossary of definitions at the back of the book. Ferrell does provide an index of topics, in alphabetical order, with the corresponding page numbers in which the reader can find more information about each topic on. This approach provides the reader with all of the information available in the text on a topic or term, but when looking solely for the definition, this is a roundabout way of providing the information to the reader in my opinion.One aspect of the text I found to be particularly helpful was the active review cards located in the back of the textbook. My professor recommended we do these cards as we worked our way through the course, but did not require us to turn them in. I decided to use them to review and study for upcoming tests. They are perforated, so you can remove them and set them next to you as you work through the text to find the answers, which are provided on the back of the card for you to check yourself.
