Money Saving Tip: Because the 9th edition is so new, I would not recommend renting this book. There is little risk that a new edition will come out anytime in the next year or so and lowering the value of the 9th edition. So, buy a new copy at a good price (be sure to consider shipping charges too) and then, at the end of the semester, sell it online or in person to someone else. You will likely get most of your money back. For more information on selling your textbooks, see our article: 5 Tips for Selling Your Textbooks Online.

Understanding Business 9th edition by Nickels, McHugh, and McHugh remains the number one textbook in the introduction to business market. Understanding Business is the market leader for several reasons:
(1) The commitment and dedication of an author team that teaches this course and believes in the importance and power of this learning experience,
(2) Nickles, McHugh and McHugh listen to their customers, and
(3) the quality of the supplements package.

The authors consistently look to the experts –full-time faculty members, adjunct instructors, and of course students– to drive the decisions made about the text itself and the ancillary package. Through a series of focus groups, symposia, as well as full-book, single-chapter, revised manuscript reviews of both text and key ancillaries, the authors have heard the stories of more than 500 professors and their insights and experiences are evident on every page of the revision and in every supplement.

As teachers of the course and users of their own materials, Nickels, McHugh and McHugh are dedicated to the principles of excellence in business education. From providing the richest most current topical coverage to using dynamic pedagogy that puts students in touch with today’s real business issues, to creating groundbreaking and market-defining ancillary items for professors and students alike, the ninth edition of Understanding Business leads the way.
