Book description
Foundations of Management 3rd edition has been written
to address the needs of introductory management subjects that require an
accessible and concise introduction. This streamlined text of 15 chapters
covers the principal concepts of management to provide students with a solid
foundation for understanding key issues. Management is a dynamic discipline
and a textbook in this area must constantly undergo significant changes to
prepare students to manage modern, ever-changing organisations within our
transforming world. This new third edition builds on the success of its
previous editions by exploring the new challenges that face managers today.
New topics and features have been added to better reflect the field of
management and to capture the excitement of this dynamic discipline. The
text highlights six integrative topics throughout. These topics are managing
for sustainability, globalisation, innovation, customer service, diversity
and ethics. In particular, we believe the inclusion of managing for
sustainability is an important recognition of the challenge that must be met
by today’s managers and organisations as they start to tackle the issue of
global warming. This best-selling text is not a book that just describes
management theories. In addition it includes many practical examples and
cases, which illustrate the theories in action. As it successfully
integrates the various functions of management, the book establishes a
dialogue with managers from a variety of fields. This third edition
continues to make management concepts meaningful and to excite readers about
the possibilities of careers in management.
