This reference text introduces the essentials of management as they apply within the contemporary work enviroment. It pays particular attention to cultural diversity, the global economy, ethical behaviour and social responsibility.
This is a uni textbook, but a compelling and revelatory one. I learned a whole bunch of things about the fine art of management I wouldn't have considered in a million years. Of course, it's mostly arid reading.
Managerial concepts and theories. The book helps in understanding the fundamentals of planning, leading, organizing, and controlling. Also provides information on the changing nature of communication due to technology. There is a lot of focus on ethics. This book emphasizes in understanding the importance of management in critical economic situations.
I'm biased because this was an assigned book for a required course. However, much of the language in this book sounds like a Dilbert satire of management-speak.
