From McGraw-Hill and
CWL Publishing Enterprises
Briefcase Books
In 1998, McGraw-Hill and CWL Publishing Enterprises, a book packaging company, joined forces to develop a new series of business titles called Briefcase Books.

These books deal with fundamental business and management topics, presenting the essentials in an easy-to-read style with a reader-friendly format and a strong emphasis on examples and how-to. The books feature short sidebars on nearly every page that provide smart managing tips, tricks of the trade, key terms, and more.

Briefcase Books are aimed at the needs of managers at all levels and in all types of organizations who want to create a workplace where people enjoy their work, continuously improve their performance, and care about customer satisfaction.

This site is designed to give you more information about all the titles in the Briefcase Books series. You can learn about the authors (and e-mail them with questions), and click on links to author Web sites. You can also download pdf files of actual sample chapters from the books, and, if you're interested in adopting any of these books for a training program, download discussion guides to facilitate this.

To read pdf files, you'll need Acrobat Reader.
