M: Management [with Review Cards & Online Learning Center Code]

by Thomas S. Bateman, Scott A. Snell

MANAGEMENT is the newest principles of management textbook on the market, and was created with students’ and professors’ needs in mind. Students receive a cost-effective, easy to read text complete with study resources (both print and online) to help them review for tests and apply chapter concepts. Professors receive a text that contains all the pertinent information we know they cover in Principles of Management - yet in a more condensed format that is easier for students to cover. It also contains gradable online assignments for instructors to assign. MANAGEMENT includes comprehensive teaching support and online supplements.

Throughout a students’ college career, many of the textbooks they will use will come from McGraw-Hill, the world’s leading higher-education business publisher. But a student’s relationship with McGraw-Hill doesn’t start with the purchase of a text and end when the semester is over. Instead it will span throughout their career in business. Whether it’s Standard and Poor’s, JD Power and Associates or BusinessWeek, today’s leading business professionals rely on McGraw-Hill as their source of quality information at every stage of their career. And like we said, these texts are just the beginning…the beginning of what will hopefully be a successful career in business with McGraw-Hill at their side. M is the beginning. Start here.

I appreciated this extremely comprehensive and contemporary approach to management. This dense text informs the reader about management principles, its vast history and its purpose for our technological and innovative world. I especially liked all of the specific and applicable examples of current sustainable businesses given throughout. This book left me feeling inspired and less disgusted with organizational and corporate strategies. There is hope! Understanding the different styles of management and the need for decentralized decision making are the two most important take aways for me. My favorite chapters were about leadership, ethics and communication.
