Management, 15th edition, continues to offer the same balanced theoretical approach as with previous editions. Students need an active and engaged learning classroom environment that brings personal meaning to course content and the instructor's course objectives. The book communicates with students through rich, timely features, and cases that bring management topics, theories, and concepts to life. The underlying goal is to translate foundation theories into lasting tools for students as they move beyond the classroom where their skills will be put to the test.
This international edition has been revised and updated with a focus on timely content, student engagement through real-world challenges, and personal career issues. Centralizing new topics such as diversity, equity, inclusion, and social impact, this edition introduces new feature of Issues to attract learners' attention to timely social and organizational issues as well as new cases and more opportunities for self-assessment.
