Schermerhorn, Wright, Management, 3rd Canadian Edition, with its rich Canadian content, accessible writing style, currency, and wealth of resources, is the ideal Introductory Management product that will provide professors the opportunity to offer their students an engaging, adaptive, and interactive experience that will help them succeed in their introductory management course. Students will be able to think critically and make sound business decisions using managerial theory as concepts are explored and reinforced by many hands-on applications, exercises, cases, and the integration of technology.
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.
