From the preface: "This book was to summarize basic theoretical knowledge of business and relate that to the real life experiences of Bangladesh. This book will give a complete overview about the business practices in Bangladesh. Both tertiary students studying introduction to business course and the entrepreneurs starting a business in Bangladesh will find this book handy as this can be a starting point of knowledge about business.

The emphasis on the Bangladeshi examples and case studies has made this fundamental work that hope will help the thousands of students studying at the tertiary level inside Bangladesh in learning this subject effectively."
