About this title

Review:

The content seems to be well connected with the real industry practices.E xercises at the end of each chapter provide opportunities for students to review the content and practice. Exercises are also easy to be used as in-class practice problems. Case studies are a good idea to provide additional opportunities for students to apply what theyve learnt into solving and thinking real world problems. --Sheng Lu, University of Rhode Island, US

This book is practical, useful book introduces retail math concepts well, tools and concepts for creating equitable collaborative learning environments that supports all students and develops confidence in their mathematical ability. --Shubhapriya Bennur, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, US

What I like the best about this textbook is the number and quality of practice problems included in each unit. The practice problems have greatly helped my students grasp the application of the merchandising mathematical concepts discussed in this textbook.This book also provides easy-to-follow explanations on the merchandising mathematical concepts. Wi-Suk Kwon, Auburn University, US A basic retail math book for beginning students that incorporates real-world retail problem solving. --Courtney Cothren, Stephens College, US
