Synopsis

Using a three-pronged approach of concepts, applications, and skill development, "Management Fundamentals: Concepts, Applications, Skill Development, International Edition" gives students a solid foundation of management concepts and skills they can use in the workplace. Through a variety of thought-provoking applications, Lussier challenges students to think critically and apply concepts to their own experiences. Proven skill-building exercises, behavioral models, self-assessments, and group exercises throughout the text help students realize their managerial potential. The 14-chapter format is comprehensive enough for a one-term course, yet flexible enough to allow for additional readings, activities, or discussions.
