Customer Reviews

We learned together as a team.

The handbook was helpful and easy to understand. The software was somewhat hard to understand. It would have been helpful to know what the rating system was before we started. Also more information on how to forecast sales might be helpful. I learned from the experience how to work together to accomplish a task. I would recommond this book to anyone in business.

A Learning Experience

The book provided in-depth information about the program. It included all of the various aspects of running a real business, which gives some valuable experience for the real world. The program needed to be more user-friendly and provide more detail about the products being manufactured. Overall, it was a valuable lesson in working in a business environment.

A True Learning Experience

The textbook that was used to teach threshold was a true learning experience. I believe that the program allowed students to learn how the world of business operates in the eyes of a small business operation. I learned the different approaches you have to look while trying to make your business the most profitable. I do think that the program should have contained an 800 number to allow students to speak to a representative that would help with any questions the student would have. Overall, the book was a true learning experience.

A learning experience!

Are you looking for a simulation? This book is nothing like I have encountered before. I would suggest this book as a learning tool for people interested in opening their own small business. It will give you insight to yourself and the way you manage a company depending on outside influences and internal problems. The book was really easy to follow and gave you a clear idea of what was to be expected. The book is merely a guide to a mock simulation of a small company challenged by similiar companies in the same industry. The program was not as user friendly as it could be and made it burdensome to look at necessary reports at one time. Several run time errors were encountered along the way. Overall the book opened my eyes to the experience of competition in a dog eat dog world of survival.
