Taking a functional approach, this text introduces students to the process of management. This edition emphasizes one of the major issues in management today: change. Various manifestations of change - including but not limited to downsizing, restructuring, diversity, and globalization - are highlighted in specific chapters and carefully woven throughout the text.
Finished my reading of this textbook. As far as textbooks go, I found the information valuable and better than some I have read. It is a relief to know I don't have to read anymore textbooks for awhile!
This book is definitely helping with my HR studies... It is a very nice textbook that digs in deeper into the aspect of business management, the only criticism I guess is the size of the book - it's not a "standard" size book - it's big, and really heavy.
