Please note: Every effort has been made to give variety to the links and to choose links that will give students an awareness of various sites on the web that feature e-commerce news, biographical articles and interviews. For external links, there is no absolute guarantee that these links will remain active for a predictable length of time. Usually, students will inform their teachers when they come across a dead link. If teachers notify McGraw-Hill regarding links that are no longer active, updates can be made to the learning materials.
