It is both an elective for management majors and also may appeal to non-majors. While I have taught this before, I have not been happy with the textbook options available--they either have been too easy or superficial, or overly complex. All seem to lack application-based exercises to engage and interest my students. I of course am working with publisher reps to find options, but would welcome your suggestions of texts/mateirals you have enjoyed using. Thanks so much. <div><br></div><div>Best,<br><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><b><a href="https://www.luther.edu/academics/faculty-stories/alexandra-white/" target="_blank">Alexandra White</a></b><br></font></div><div><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Associate Professor of Management </span><br></div></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Economics, Accounting & Management<br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Luther College</font></div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:whital04@luther.edu" target="_blank">whital04@luther.edu</a><br></font></div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">563-387-1812<br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Olin 344<br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
