ISE Essentials of Contemporary Management

Essentials of Contemporary Management provides the most current, concise account of changes taking place in the world of management and management practices by emphasizing the challenges and opportunities facing today’s managers in organizations large and small making the text relevant and interesting to students. Jones/George infuses real managers who seize opportunities, overcome challenges, and effectively manage and lead their organizations allowing students to see real-life management in action. It mirrors the changes taking place in today's management practice by incorporating recent developments in management theory and research. Central to the book's approach, boxed material is seamlessly integrated into the text and an integral part of the learning experience; it is not disembodied from the chapter narrative.
