Strategy Tools

Strategy Tools teach students how to apply a theory, framework, or concept by actually “doing”/conducting analysis that will help formulate strategic decisions – such as how to calculate and use a scale or experience curve or how to create a net promoter score to access whether a differentiation strategy is working. Several of the Strategy Tools are accompanied by animations in WileyPLUS. Two of the new animations cover how to analyze a case and how to create a strategy canvas.

Innovative White Board Animations

Innovative author-produced white board animations open and complement each chapter and bring content to life for students. These executive summary animations can be assigned before students come to class and also used by students as an excellent summary/study tool.

Career Readiness Tools

Feature boxes display 1-2 minute videos that link key course concepts to career-readiness in the work-world and provide helpful information for landing a job and being successful in a job.
