Synopsis
Essentials of Contemporary Management, Eighth Edition, provides the most current account of changes taking place in the world of management and management practices while making the text relevant and interesting to students.
Management students often need help relating theories and concepts, such as diversity, sustainability, and globalization, to themselves and the business world. Our powerful Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business–accredited text and technology helps instructors hold students accountable for baseline knowledge so instructors can more readily bring concepts to life. Building Management Skills, Managing Ethically, Small Group Breakout Exercise, and Be the Manager features provide opportunities for students to apply their learning to realistic scenarios in which a manager or organization faces a challenge, problem, or opportunity.
Management Snapshots open each chapter by posing a related challenge and discussing how managers responded. Manager as a Person boxes focus on how real managers brought about change within their organizations. Small Business Examples ensure that students make clear connections between concepts and applications. End-of-chapter Management in Action questions and points for reflection ask students to research actual management issues and learn firsthand from practicing managers.
