Covering all the core areas associated with business and management degrees, this text offers a unique focus on employability to guide your development into a future employee who can lead but who is also a team player, who is flexible and creative, well-versed in problem-solving skills, and who is self-aware and resilient under pressure - all skills that employers are looking for in today's business world.

Now in its fourth edition, a new chapter on wellbeing makes this text more relevant than ever. This chapter guides your development of

healthy mental and physical resilience, which are needed both at university and in the world of work. The importance of critical reflection is also emphasized by a new 'Stop and Reflect' feature, which acts as a checkpoint to help you absorb the content on a more personal and practical level.
