We would like to thank the Jossey-Bass/Wiley team for their support and encouragement. This book would not have been possible without the patience and gentle guidance of Allison Brunner, Nathinee Chen, Alison Hankey, Rebecca Heider, Nina Kreiden, Elspeth MacHattie, and Dani Scoville.

Our sincere gratitude extends to Charles Coe and Lynda S. Clair. Charlie expertly drafted the financial management chapter and was a cheerleader during our efforts to finish the book manuscript. Lynda was instrumental in helping us distill complex financial and human resource management topics into material suitable for our audiences.

This book has benefited greatly from the thoughtful comments of reviewers. Their suggestions on content and presentation have helped to improve the chapters and the supplementary teaching materials. We sincerely thank them for joining us on this journey as we worked to meld our individual writing styles and perspectives. We list the reviewers here, along with their institutional affiliations at the time of the review process.
