You will need the textbook edition that is recommended, as the BUS-421 it is very heavy on the case studies (which are often specific to the edition). I used https://www.textbookrentals.com/ to locate my book rental. I don't recall having access to the syllabus until just a day or two prior to the course starting.
My biggest tip for the course is watch the electronic calendar! Once you get access to the syllabus you'll also get access to a pdf 'calendar/schedule' - it is truly only a vague guide on timeline (ie: when it says "week three" X,Y,Z is due - it doesn't explain that Y is due Monday, Z is Wednesday and X on Sunday night). This almost caught me for a fail a few times, as the professor I had didn't update the TRUE course E-Calendar often until a day before the week started, and sometimes after it started. Once he updated it and something was due that day (posted at 3pm, due by midnight - all on a Tuesday, while the pdf calendar indicated it would be due at the end of week, Sunday). So in summary, my advice is - Check the E-calendar, and check it often - no matter which professor you have, and try to be ahead for the weekly assignments as best you can and you'll do great.
