I used this book in my Introduction to Management class this semester. I appreciated the 16-week format because it matches our semester.
The 16 chapters covered the subject very thoroughly. The book is obviously very heavily researched and includes lots of authoritative studies. The material is presented in a clear and interesting manner, with lots of graphs, pictures, and real-life examples. I was able balance theory with practice by supplementing the material in the book with a lot of my real world management experiences.
I assigned several of the self-assessments to the students as discussion questions, and we had lively classroom discussions as we reviewed everyone's results. I didn't use a lot of them, and a couple that I did use the students were not impressed with because there were only 10 questions.
There are also lots of valuable resources for the instructor. The online quizzes and tests were effortless. I especially appreciated the PowerPoint presentations. A couple of suggestions, though. The notes for each slide of the PowerPoint should reference the corresponding page number in the book. I added that to every slide, and it helped me during lectures. Also, there is too much text in the notes in the PowerPoint slides. It's impossible during a lecture to read through it all and before speaking. I ended up cutting out a lot of it.
