build a Digital Portfolio demonstrating the business knowledge, application
software proficiency, and Internet skills acquired from using the text. The
portfolio can be included in a resume or job application or used as a learning
assessment tool for instructors.

INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT MATERIALS

Instructor Resource Center
Most of the support materials described in the following sections are conve-
niently available for adopters on the online Instructor Resource Center (IRC).
The IRC includes the Image Library (a very helpful lecture tool), Instructor's
Manual, Lecture Notes, Test Item File and TestGen, and PowerPoint slides.

Image Library
The Image Library is an impressive resource to help instructors create vibrant
lecture presentations. Almost every figure and photo in the text is provided and
organized by chapter for convenience. These images and lecture notes can be
imported easily into PowerPoint to create new presentations or to add to exist-
ing ones.

Instructor’s Manual
The Instructor's Manual features not only answers to review, discussion, case
study, and group project questions, but also in-depth lecture outlines, teaching
objectives, key terms, teaching suggestions, and Internet resources.

Test Item File
The Test Item File is a comprehensive collection of true-false, multiple-choice,
fill-in-the-blank, and essay questions. The questions are rated by difficulty level
and the answers are referenced by section. The Test Item File also contains
questions tagged to the AACSB learning standards. An electronic version of the
Test Item File is also available in TestGen.

PowerPoint Slides
Electronic color slides created by the authors are available in PowerPoint. The
slides illuminate and build on key concepts in the text.

Video Cases and Instructional Videos
Instructors can download the video cases from MyMISLab at
www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/mymislab. See page 28 for a list of video cases
and instructional videos available at the time of publication.

Learning Track Modules
Over 40 Learning Tracks provide additional coverage topics for students and
instructors. See page 29 for a list of the Learning Tracks available for this
