The Online Learning Center (OLC) at www.mhhe.com/jonesgeorge5e is a Web site that follows the text chapter by chapter. OLC content is designed to reinforce and build on the text content. As students read the book, they can go online to take self-grading quizzes, review material, or work through interactive exercises. In the popular Build Your Management Skills section, students can find out more about their personal management styles and preferences by completing the Self-Assessments.

OLCs can be delivered multiple ways—professors and students can access them directly through the textbook Web site, through PageOut, or within a course management system (i.e., WebCT, Blackboard, or eCollege). In addition, a new series of chapter-by-chapter modules that include video overviews of key concepts along with animations and/or interactive exercises are available with Enhanced Cartridges for use in an online course management system or for individual purchase from the OLC.

Manager's Hot Seat Online! Now instructors can put students in the hot seat with access to an interactive program.

As the scenario unfolds, questions about how the manager is handling the situation pop up, forcing the student to make decisions along with the manager. At the end of the scenario, students watch a post-interview with the manager, view how their responses matched up to the manager's decisions, and then submit a report critiquing the manager's choices while defending their own. Access to the online program is an optional package with this text.
