BDT takes a business-first approach, starting each chapter by explaining the value of a business initiative
and then detailing the technology that enables the initiative. This revolutionary approach instantly demonstrates
the 'why' to business students without boring them with the 'how'. The adaptive chapter/plug-in organization allows
the instructor to adjust content according to their business or technical preferences.
