While this may appear daunting to students looking for career information in business and finance because of its size, the information they will find gives many different perspectives about these topics. Depending upon the curriculum in your school, teachers preparing students for immediate work after high school will be able to build research assignments around such topics as cost benefit analysis, desktop publishing, retailers and risk management. In this new edition, applications of technology such as cyber crime, identify theft, e-marketing and online education are added. Many of the signed articles have a multi-page descriptive essay while others may provide a briefer definition and a shorter outline of the topic. The section on careers is particularly important, showing information processing, which includes descriptions of careers in hardware and software, IT management, outsourcing and offshoring and includes a boxed insert of titles of job holders in these careers. The summary describes the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predictions for the most likely growth area, always of interest to those planning to become any one of those occupations. Articles end with “see” and “see also” references as well as an up-to-date bibliography. If you need information to help students with looking at careers and are willing to introduce this one, it covers U.S. business and finance. Your social studies teachers might assign students to read about the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 in relation to what happened then and what is happening today. An interesting addition to your collection.Encyclopedia of Business and Finance
