An additional learning tool which lists the cases by number and title according to the table of contents and topics emphasized in the cases.

Index of Names, Positions, and Organizational Types
This handy reference tool ties the name of characters and their position to the pages of the case studies where they are mentioned.

Student Tools and Learning Assessments

Each case is accompanied by a set of questions and instructions intended to stimulate thinking and discussion about the problems under consideration. This case analysis and learning assessment is printed on perforated pages and may be removed from the book for time-saving evaluation purposes.

Timelines
A timeline following each case helps students accurately order the major case events to learn how the timing of these events influenced the ultimate outcome.

Mental Jogger
Following each case is a mental jogger section which allows learners to note ideas they want to remember or discuss in class.

Personal Reflections
Each case contains a section for additional notes and observations as well as a section for personal reflections where students can write topics or concerns to be addressed in other case analyses.
