Publisher's Synopsis
Combining management and organizational behaviour, this text aims to teach students to be effective performers within an organization, both individually and in teams. It begins with an overview of why management is necessary and progresses through four stages of managing processes: managing people; managing relationships; managing the organization; and managing change. Features include: boxes which present students with real-world key issues facing managers; "A Second Look" which allows students to analyze concepts presented earlier in a more complex manner; and experiential excercises and chapter-ending cases.
