Summary |
Vision for the tenth edition of Management: A Competency-Based Approach is to present a current and comprehensive management text that guides the professional development of students. One way we do this is through a set of six core managerial competencies. Through competencies, students develop understanding, skills, insights, knowledge, judgment, and intuition that enable them to become effective managers. This vision required us to identify and present the competencies needed by both employees and managers in 21st century organizations. Our vision of nourishing competencies guided every aspect of this edition form text content, to special features, to design, to the supplemental enrichment materials. Throughout this preface we convey the many ways this book implements our vision.
The text is packed with updated and new competency-building features, interesting cases, and intriguing insights. They enable students to experience the excitement of contemporary organizational and managerial concepts, methods, and practices, Real-world examples are brought into the classroom throughout the text. We include fresh, relevant coverage of managers and organizations that will be meaningful to students. In keeping with this reality-based perspective, we focus on telling it like it is as well as telling it like it should be. Students will learn from the many applications of methods, practices, and concepts.
