Management, 6th edition
Genres: Management
Book Preface
In these dynamic and challenging times, there is a need to look for inspiration in how managers and organisations can change the way they operate to meet their economic, environmental and social responsibilities. No successful organisation, or its managers, can operate without understanding and dealing with the dynamic environment that surrounds them. One of the biggest mistakes managers make today is failing to adapt to the changing world. With challenges of dealing with the aftermaths of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), natural disasters such as bushfires, flooding and cyclones in many states, and earthquakes in New Zealand, as well as the looming future threat of global warming and climate change, there is a need to find inspiration in how some of the more successful managers and organisations are tackling these issues.
There is no doubt that management is a dynamic discipline. This means that a textbook on the subject must constantly undergo significant changes to prepare you to manage in increasingly dynamic conditions. Therefore, we have written this sixth edition of Management to provide you with the best possible understanding of what it means to be a manager confronting change.
Our approach to management is simple: management is about people. Managers manage people. Managers are the one thing that all organisations – whatever their size, kind or location – need. This book will introÂ�- duce you to a wide range of real managers and organisations, from the stories that open each chapter to the numerous boxes and case applications, which aim to provide you with interesting and thought-provoking examples of management in action. No other textbook has so successfully blended management theory with management practice. We are confident that this sixth edition will continue both to make management concepts meaningful to you, and to excite you about the possibilities of a career in management.
