Synopsis

Known for its cutting edge research and examples, Griffin's Management has helped hundreds of thousands of students prepare for careers in business. This highly successful program takes a functional approach to the process of management, with a focus on active planning, leading, organizing, and controlling. Ricky Griffin's straightforward writing style and well-researched in-text examples have made this book uncommonly student-friendly. The Ninth Edition has been significantly revised to reflect the most recent issues that managers face, with a new and enhanced focus on the service sector, ethics, global management, and information technology. Additionally, the text integrates issues such as the balance of theory and practice and uses examples based on small companies and non-profit organizations to underscore the idea that management is not simply confined to large businesses.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is the second edition of the highly regarded and very readable management text by Paul Davidson and Ricky Griffin. It reflects the trends and practices of local business, the differences in local corporate culture and the nature of local organisations. This is presented within a global context of management, where the new work environment knows no geographic boundaries.

A solid foundation of research provides the background against which Australian, New Zealand, Asia–Pacific, European and US illustrative examples are used. These examples are drawn from small to medium size companies and large multinational enterprises. A critical perspective is integrated throughout the book, as students are asked to analyse the theory in light of real world examples. The text emphasises the emerging challenges of e–business management, the importance of ethics in the global marketplace, diversity in the workforce, and the management of information technology and quality to achieve organisational goals.

Written in an accessible and concise style, this book is designed for introductory courses in Management at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.
