Decisionmaker is a photocopiable resource book containing 14 business situations for students to analyse and discuss. It explores many different aspects of business: from the London fashion scene to the Indian software industry, to the financial markets of New York. The situations have all been thoroughly researched and are firmly rooted in the real business world. Learners develop their English language skills by discussing controversial topics such as cigarette marketing and video piracy, and get the chance to bring their own opinions to bear on complex business dilemmas. They are encouraged to think about aspects of communication such as cross-cultural awareness, stereotyping and even graphology. They are also introduced to a number of popular management problem-solving techniques. Each unit contains teacher's notes, preparatory tasks, vocabulary development, reading material and tasks to help in analysis of the situations and decisionmaking. The material is suitable for students at intermediate level and above.
