These cases continue to illustrate basic concepts while expanding students′ understanding of economic, political, and cultural concerns that must be interwoven into such key areas as process design, quality, and supply chain management.

- Strong decision orientation of real-world cases
- Clear development of the link between business processes and customer value
- Diversity of international case settings Mixture of cases, simulations, and in-class exercises
