Blending scholarship and imaginative writing, ASU business professor Kinicki (of Kreitner/Kinicki Organizational Behavior 5e) and writer Williams (of Williams/Sawyer Using Information Technology 5e) have created a highly readable introductory management text in an exciting magazine-like layout certain to be well received by today?s visually oriented students. The authors have structured Management as a series of two-page spreads (i.e., left and right facing pages) of 2 ? 6 pages per section, to optimize learning by presenting information in easily mastered ?bite-size? chunks. Besides presenting fundamental concepts of management, the book emphasizes practical advice throughout, expressed in the features ?The Manager?s Toolbox,? ?Practical Action? boxes, real-life ?Example? boxes, real-life ?Management in Action? and ?Ethical Dilemma? cases, and the Web-based ?Taking Something Practical Away from this Chapter.?
