Edition 10 Business Case Studies eBook

The Edition 10 eBook contains 38 unique case studies that give you a real insight into modern businesses, how they function, what they do and how they stay afloat. As well as getting to grips with the curriculum, and many recognisable top companies, the case studies can also help you excel in your exams. Your teacher can go for the ‘Network Licence’ to make sure your whole school or university can read the eBook.

What sets the case studies apart from other curriculum related material is the open and easy-to-read format of Business Case Studies. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a GSCE or a university student, the studies are relevant and engaging, from strategy in action to engaging stakeholders and competitive advantage.

While the e-book is a great source in the classroom, it’s also a helpful one at home, if you just want to revise on your e-reader.

The case studies are supported by additional learning materials such as PowerPoints, handouts, MP3s, crosswords and word searches which are available to download online.
