This multipack combines Worthington’s The Business Environment 4th Edition (ISBN 0273678272) with Sloman’s Essentials of Economics 3rd Edition (ISBN 0273683829).

The Business Environment examines the external influences on business organisations.  It is designed specifically for students taking a first module on a business or business-related degree, HND, MBA or professional course.

'The Business Environment is used as the cornerstone book for our business module. It is an ideal reference text that sympathetically introduces students to the business environment. It is useful not only for those who have some knowledge of business but also for those new to the subject, and can be used throughout their three years of study.’

Jane A K Silver, Senior Lecturer in International Business and Strategy, University of Salford

‘A very readable text that presents appropriate frameworks and encourages the exploration of their applications via relevant case studies’

Rob Thomas, Principal Lecturer in Business Environment, University of Portsmouth

Essentials of Economics 3/e, is an abridged version of John Sloman's main text, Economics 5/e. Some passages have been directly transcribed, while others have been extensively rewritten in order to provide a consistent coverage of only the core principles of economics and their applications. The book is about half the length of the parent text.

This text is designed with one overriding aim: to make this exciting and highly relevant subject clear, accessible and easy to understand. It puts economics in the context of the real world, bringing the subject alive and giving students an insight into the economy in which we live and the economic forces that shape our lives.

The third edition of this highly regarded and successful text retains many of the features of the second, but has also been extensively updated to reflect changes and address new and contemporary issues. It also includes some important new learning features.
