Acknowledgements

The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of the Western Sydney University (WSU) Library staff that helped make this open book a reality:

• Lucy Walton,^[1] Scholarly Publishing Consultant
• Jeffrey W. Har, Digital Publishing Librarian
• Frank Hill, Copyright Officer

Also, I would like to thank Fiona Salisbury,^[2] Executive Director, WSU Library, for moving forward with the Western Open Books vision.

Much of this learning material has developed from the expertise and energies of past and present Library Academic Literary Coordinators, including Olivia Inwood, current Academic Literacy Coordinator. I am also thankful for previous Academic Literacy Coordinators, such as Fiona Webber, who created some of the lessons and Study Smart content.

We are grateful to the academic staff from the School of Business who provided feedback, helped with content, and tested draft versions of the book in their teaching and learning.

• Brandon Gordon, Sessional Academic, School of Business
• Dr Neeru Sharma, Lecturer, School of Business

The authors are grateful for the time provided by our external partners. Local entrepreneurs John Cafferatta, Darcy Street Project and Suzanne Campbell, Vennu graciously shared valuable insights to assist us in developing resources for WSU students.
