Management

Description

Brief Contents

For undergraduate and graduate Principles of Management courses.

 

This text connects theory with practice, incorporating the latest research findings to make management relevant and exciting to aspiring managers.

 

Managerial Challenges from the Front Line. To make the connection between relevance and rigor more direct for students and instructors, a new feature has been added that appears at the beginning of each chapter, titled “Managerial Challenges from the Front Line.”  It includes focused examples of a managerial challenge faced by a real person designed to help students understand and relate the chapter content to managerial practice.

 

Self Assessment. The self assessment feature has been added at the end of each chapter to help students think about themselves, and how their inclination or orientation relates to some of the material covered in the chapter.

 

Current and Concise. Without sacrificing the important content, this text gets students straight to the point.
