Perfect for students
This is a perfect book listing most of the definitions that might be needed by students, complete with examples and diagrams where they are needed. However, I would not recommend it so much for university students, as I have found that the terms are fairly basic and don't always cover the detail I need. However, it's a good book when learning specific definitions for exams. It's the best business dictionary I've come accross so far.

Simply fantastic!
This book is great whether you are just starting out in business studies or if you have some knowledge and would like to expand on that. Not only is this book a fantastic revision tool for exams, it also acts as a dictionary giving well explained definitions of the technical terms.

Complete with diagrams and tables this is book is a must have for anyone wanting to know more about business studies.

I Think this book is very useful and helpful for students
This book is very useful because of the way it is layed out. It contains most of the words i need to look up and it is easy to find the words I'm looking for with good explanations and easy to understand diagrams. However, I believe that this book could be improved if it had more words to look up and have some examples for each word and be a bit more precise with explanations.
