Product Description
In the Fifth Edition of this nationally acclaimed book, students learn the management skills and competencies that will enable them to meet the challenges they'll experience as leaders in tomorrow's dynamic, rapidly changing business environment. The authors focus on key management principles and how they apply in real business practice, as well as on the skills and competencies students will need as they move into the workplace. In this leadership-focused book, students discover how proactive leaders respond to both the opportunities and challenges of global management, diversity and ethics issues, team-based management, service management, and other developing trends. In emphasizing the competencies and skills needed by contemporary leaders, MANAGEMENT: CHALLENGES FOR TOMORROW'S Leaders translates theory into practice, showing students how to fully develop their skills in teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and adapting to change. The authors further broaden students' understanding by applying the concepts of management to the various functional areas of organizations of all sizes, illustrating that leaders emerge from all areas- production, finance, accounting, sales, and marketing.

 Crap! July 22, 2010
Jackie (New Jersey)
This has to be the world's #1 most boring textbook ever. It is not engaging at all and has the nerve to be expensive. Just the thought of having to read it for quizzes makes me sick to my stomach. Professors have to find a better book if they really want their students to learn about management because if this is as good as it gets then I am glad management is not my major.

When I got the book the corners had no corner protectors on them, so the edges were smashed in pretty bad. I didn't return it, but complained about it. The material in the book is written very well. The introduction and foreward section has several words in it that could cause confusion i.e. they are more sophisticated and out of context with the main reading level of the main text. Once you stack up several misunderstood words and don't look them up, you will not understand the main text. This happens more frequently now that dictionaries have been removed from schools in favor of adaptation to psychiatric dogma. By that I mean adapting to how words make you feel rather than understanding their true meaning. Not to put down criminally insane prison guards or anything. The free infotrac subscription was a total scam. My password was not excepted and I could find noone to contact in order to resolve my issue. I couldn't believe that something so disorganized and fraudulent could be allowed by the publishing company. Infotrac is a facade. Hope it accepts your password, it didn't mine. A lot of care went into the writting of the book and its being used heavily by the colleges in my area. I highly recommend it. It has highlighted words that might cause you trouble, but be prepared to go online or possibly subscribe to a business reference service to get words defined like "team management" for example. The specialized words requiring more than a couple sentences of explanation are left for you to use your feelings to feel your way through.

The book is ok for the class but the is the only thing i can say about this book. The comprehension level of the book is not the greatest. The book lacks interpretation.
