DESCRIPTION
As with the previous edition, the pedagogical features of the text, along with student ancillaries, make Management, Sixth Edition, a complete and valuable learning tool—one that will satisfy the needs of both students and professors. This is demonstrated by the following: Chapter objectives at the beginning of each chapter focus the reader's attention on key concepts. Chapter objectives are repeated at appropriate locations in the text to pace the reader's progress. • Key terms are emphasized in bold where first defined, repeated in marginal notes, and listed at the close of each chapter to reinforce important terminology and concepts. • A new factual feature in the margin increases student interest by highlighting current news items and data that support the text. A stimulating photo/art program and an inviting, user-friendly layout make the material in this edition visually appealing, accessible, and interesting. Captioned color photographs of managers in action and organizational life enliven the textual discussion. • In-text examples and boxes with three different themes—The Global Manager, Management Ethics, Skills, and Tools—provide students with extensive, interesting real-world illustrations to demonstrate the application and relevance of topics important to today's managers. Clear, comprehensive chapter summaries refresh the reader's memory of important material. • Cases at the beginning and end of each chapter provide a real-world context for handling management problems. Thirty-one (82 percent) of the cases in this edition are new. • Ten discussion questions following each chapter enhance understanding by helping the reader personalize the textual material. • Video skill builders at the end of each part foster experiential learning by providing how-to-do-it instruction on key managerial skills. • An end-of-text glossary (with chapter annotations) of all key terms provides a handy reference for the study of management.
