Today’s organizations are networked, collaborative, and fast-changing. This introductory management textbook uses a new authoring structure to create a high quality, cutting edge, well-researched product that that is truly unique to the field. This book’s concept is for one of the most highly networked and well-known members of the global management education community to collaborate with a group of management instructors in a 21st century approach to textbook creation – a model that reflects the connected nature of managing in today’s workplace.
The important contextualization of management ideas in the ever-changing global, ethical, and technological environment is something many textbooks attempt. However, the various authors collaborating on each chapter based on subject expertise enables the book to have greater specialized expertise than other textbook author teams in order to bring out the nuances of cutting edge topics.
Pedagogically, this book will harness emerging technologies to make management courses more exciting and more in alignment with the future. In addition to such now-customary website features as self-quizzes for students and teaching notes for instructors, among the features of the companion website are:
- Engaging YouTube ancillary videos and Facebook student networking projects.
- For instructors at institutions without Blackboard or WebCT licenses, instructions on obtaining and using a free blog so students can post reports and other assignments as part of threads to the assignment direction messages in the blog
Through this book, management collaboration is not just a theory communicated to students, but a demonstration of this concept in practice.
