Synopsis
Business in the electronic age is rapidly changing the way managers work. This is making informed practice all the more significant. Management Foundations equips students with the skills and knowledge required to meet these challenges and become effective and informed managers. Taking a critical thinking approach, and carefully tailored to suit a one-semester course, this twelve chapter streamlined text provides an excellent balance between theory and practice. One of the most challenging issues for lecturers is teaching students to think critically and strategically about theories, and to develop decision-making and analytical skills of their own. With that in mind, each chapter of this text includes critical thinking questions as well as application exercises and case studies. These questions and cases invite students to carefully evaluate contemporary management debates in a regional and global context, and inspire the development of decision-making skills. This title is supported by an outstanding integrated learning package, including a video case suite. These clips illustrate key concepts through real-life Australia/New Zealand application and are supported by case notes that reference videos to chapter themes. Further online resources include PowerPoint slides that distill key concepts by chapter, a glossary, and self-study quizzes. Instructors can also access a series of online chapters relating specifically to management in New Zealand, as well as the EZ Test Online application for easy test generation.
