Summary |
Managers face difficult and exciting challenges today. A global economy in which world-class quality is the ticket to ride, increased diversity in the work force, and calls for more ethical conduct promise to keep things interesting. As trustees of society’s precious human, material, financial, and informational resources, today’s and tomorrow’s managers hold the key to a better world. A solid grounding in management is essential to guide large or small, profit or nonprofit, organizations successfully through these rapidly-changing times. Management, Sixth Edition, represents an important first step toward managerial success. It is a comprehensive, up-to-date, and highly readable introduction to management theory, research, and practice. This sixth edition is the culmination of my nearly twenty-five years in the management classroom; its style and content have been shaped by interaction with hundreds of students, instructors, and reviewers. Organized along a time-tested functional/process framework, Management, Sixth Edition, integrates classical and modern concepts with a rich array of real-world example and cases.
