Management

This text maintains its coverage of management theories and concepts while delivering current thinking in management practices and ideas in the late 1990s. Through its core competency paradigm, students evaluate their own experiences with business management. This development framework focuses on ways for students to develop six managerial competencies they will need to become effective managers: communication; planning and administration; strategic action; self-management; global awareness; and teamwork. New to this edition, the six competencies framework is reinforced with Internet cases and exercises to strengthen students' abilities in each management competency, as well as extensive coverage of emerging issues including teamwork and global management.
