Overview

An organization's ability to succeed in a changing environment rests with its managers. The third edition of Management is designed to create an awareness and understanding of this reality as the 21st century emerges. The book presents current management concepts, theories, and research findings appropriate to undergraduate students and beginning graduate students who have not studied management fundamentals. In addition, insights are provided as to what students may expect of management at the turn of the century. As a continuing theme, decision-making, global relationships, and ethical behavior are shown to be dependent upon environmental conditions and managerial judgment relating to a particular situation. Accordingly, a contingency view of management theory and practice is a significant feature in the book.Written in a lively and application-based style, the functions of management are used as a springboard integrating behavioral concepts with useful quantitative techniques. Where appropriate, a historical perspective is presented to provide a better understanding of current practice. Four new chapters are presented to emphasize management concerns today as well as those in the future-the changing environment and managerial forecasting, goals and goal setting, design issues in organization theory, and labor-management relations. Quantitative materials are presented in a descriptive manner while Appendices B, C, and D at the end of the book pursue various quantitative techniques in more depth.
