"Literally hundreds of books have been written for introductory management courses. As the body of material comprising the theory, research, and practice of management has grown and expanded, textbook authors have continued to mirror this expansion of material in their books. Writers have understood the importance of adding new material about traditional topics, such as planning and organizing, while simultaneously adding coverage of emerging newer topics, such as sustainability, ethics, and social media. As a by-product of this trend, our general survey textbooks have grown longer and longer, making it increasingly difficult to cover all the material in one course." —Preface Contents: Chapter 1 Understanding the manager's job — Chapter 2 The environments of organizations and managers — Chapter 3 Planning and strategic management — Chapter 4 Managing decision making — Chapter 5 Entrepreneurship and new venture management — Chapter 6 Organization structure and design — Chapter 7 Organization change and innovation — Chapter 8 Managing human resources in organizations — Chapter 9 Basic elements of individual behavior in organization — Chapter 10 Managing employee motivation and performance — Chapter 11 Leadership and influence processes — Chapter 12 Communication in organization — Chapter 13 Managing work groups and teams — Chapter 14 Basic elements of control — Chapter 15 Managing operations, quality, and productivity.
