Description
When first introduced to the market in 1998, Jones et al.'sContemporary Managementmade a huge splash with its innovative voice, content, pedagogy, design, and package. Four years later, The First Canadian Edition of Jones broke new ground in the Canadian post-secondary market, quickly receiving nationwide acclaim.Now in the Second Canadian Edition,Contemporary Managementcontinues to redefine what principles of management texts should look, sound, and feel like.Contemporary Managementis a comprehensive text that surveys the theoretical underpinnings of modern management thought and research using a variety of real-world examples from small, medium, and large companies, therefore showing the reader how those ideas are used by practising managers.The text has been heavily revised in the Second Canadian Edition, with a reworked structure designed to better explore the modular nature of the subject, new pedagogy designed to keep up with real-world development and student interests, and new end-of-chapter material created to improve student learning. The themes of diversity, ethics, and information technology have been greatly expanded in the Second Canadian Edition through in-text examples, photographs, "unboxed" stories, and the end-of-chapter material all areas of importance that truly serve to bring to life the workplace realities that today's student will encounter in the course of a career in Canada or abroad.
