Synopsis

Management: The New Competitive Landscape, by Bateman and Snell, has consistently discussed and explained the traditional, functional approach to management - through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. But the 6th edition goes a step further, in defining and highlighting with icons, four "bottom line" practices that managers and companies must deliver to their customers: Innovation, Speed, Quality, and Cost. Bateman and Snell's: Management: The New Competitive Landscape, 6e has always been about a series of "firsts": first to have a chapter on diversity, first to devote a section to the environment, and first to relate a "bricks and clicks" theme to explain the challenges of managing in a New Economy. This new edition is no exception with the expansion of such timely topics as ethics and technology.

Management: The New Competitive Landscape, 6e shows how managers must utilize the classic principles of management in combination with the practices of the "New Economy" to achieve managerial goals. By reinforcing these new business practices in context with the functional approaches, the authors deliver a unique theme amongst all principles of management texts - how to manage in ways that deliver results.

About this title

From the Publisher:

A new economy is emerging of E-commerce and the Internet, but the fundamentals are still the same. This theme will be evident in the 5th edition.
The four classical functions (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) are retained but also reconceptualized for the new era as delivering strategic value (planning), building a dynamic organization (organizing), mobilizing people (leading), and learning and changing (controlling).
Chapter 1 is new and discusses the Internet, globalization, knowledge management, and collaboration across boundaries, while retaining coverage of the management functions and competitive themes. It concludes with a section titled "You and Your Career", personalizing the chapter and setting a personal tone for the book.
A student CD-ROM is now included with every, new student copy of the text. The CD contains self-assessment exercises, flash technology, as well as PowerPoint.
Five integrating cases one at the end of each part reinforce principles learned in previous chapters and bring theories to life with well-known companies.
"From the Pages of Business Week": highlight recent Business Week articles in each chapter.
Opening Quotes: provide a thought-provoking preview of chapter material. The quotes are from people like Peter Drucker (on management), Jack Welch (on strategy), Henry David Thoreau (on ethics), Julius Caesar (on leadership), and Charles Kettering (on change and the future).
Learning Objectives: open each chapter and identify what students will learn by reading and studying the chapter.
Setting the Stage: the chapter opening vignette describes an actual organizational situation and provides a rich introductory example and practical application of the chapter topic.
Experiential Exercises, which appear in each chapter, encourage students to apply the theories they have just learned.
Boxed features: describe current examples and controversial issues and are found throughout each chapter.
