This document provides a basic outline of the topics covered in each chapter of the book.
Topics written in italics represent topics that include information taught in class but not found
in the text. Note that there are a few topics that are assigned in the reading for which you will
be responsible, but that we will not cover in depth in class.
After each outline, a reading list is provided for the chapter. You are not responsible for any
material in the text not listed in the reading (additionally, you will not be responsible for the
chapter previews, the company showcases that start each chapter, or the excerpts entitled

In addition to reading, each study guide lists key terms, key models and equations, and asks a
few review questions that you might consider as you study the content of each chapter. You
