Sections of this book can also be packaged with other materials from the extensive Primis database, including articles and cases from the Harvard Business School, to provide exactly the course pack the instructor needs.

For instructors who teach over the Internet and for those who prefer an electronic format, this text may be delivered online, using McGraw-Hill’s eBook technology. Ebooks can also be customized with the addition of any of the materials in Primis’s extensive collection.

For Students

Business and Society has long been popular with students because of its lively writing, up-to-date examples, and clear explanations of theory. This textbook has benefitted greatly from feedback over the years from thousands of students who have used the material in the authors’ own classrooms. Its strengths are in many ways a testimony to the students who have used earlier generations of Business and Society.

The new Thirteenth Edition of the text is designed to be as student-friendly as always. Each chapter opens with a list of key learning objectives to help focus student reading and study. Numerous figures, exhibits, and real-world business examples (set as blocks of colored type) illustrate and elaborate the main points. A glossary at the end of the book provides definitions for bold-faced and other important terms. Internet references, greatly expanded for this edition, and a full section-by-section bibliography guide students who wish to do further research on topics of their choice, and subject and name indexes help students locate items in the book.

Additional student resources are also available via the book’s Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/lawrence13e, including self-grading quizzes and chapter review material.
