Davar business courses e-books affordable or free? - Edriveless - 05-25-2020
Does any one have Davar e-books for their business courses they want to sell at a lower cost? I just can’t afford books now and the ones out there cost a lot even if I rent and I prefer e-books then physical ones.

Do these books have ISBNs?

I too prefer e-books, but I think in a situation like yours, you have to be flexible if you want to save money.
FWIW, I'll share what I did for some of my Davar and Coopersmith courses. I searched for previous versions of the current books specified in the syllabi and invariably found them. Take, for example, the suggested textbook for MAN310, Understanding and Managing Organizational Behavior, 6th ed., George, Jennifer M. and Jones, Gareth M., ISBN 978-0136124436. If you look on that big auction website, you'll find the previous edition of this book (5th ed), available for less than five dollars, shipped to your door.
I realize that a physical book of the previous edition is not the current e-book. But if you're on a budget like I am, it's about a thousand times better than nothing. I doubt that there was a whole lot of change in the study of organizational behavior in the three or four years between the two editions.
If you'd prefer to continue your search for current e-books, I'd like to respectfully suggest you review the syllabi and post the titles, authors, and ISBNs. It's probably not reasonable to expect someone else to do that for you.

Have you tried Amazon? The first one is $15 to rent.
On eBay, corporate finance is $30 to buy a paper version.
I second the notion to get the previous edition, when possible, however. In general, all they do is move the chapters around, fix up typos, and voila you've got a new textbook edition.
