Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills

by Greg L. Stewart, Kenneth G. Brown

Linked with the skill development concept, Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills emphasizes the concept ofSelf-Management. Principles of Self-Management and relatedconcepts are scattered throughout the text includingself-awareness, perceptions, values, emotions, stress in additionto a specific integrated treatment of Self-Management. Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills provides a uniqueperspective by devoting an entire chapter (Chapter 3) to theconcept of Self-Management. The principles and concepts arewoven through the remaining chapters. This emphasis onSelf-Management provides a practical, unique, and contemporaryframework for the skill development sections. Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills will establish a framework forSelf-Management as a way to provide a theoretical foundation forintegrating skill development with traditional approaches focusingon research-based knowledge and application. The underlyingapproach to Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills isintegration of research findings and applications (knowing aboutthe field of management) with skill development (knowing how to dospecific management tasks). This approach covers not only theknowledge-acquisition principles present in most textbooks but alsothe skill-development principles that are frequently coveredthrough supplementary materials.
