This book provides practical guidance to the contemporary manager, stressing the critical thinking and problem solving skills required to navigate today's complex business environments. This edition also stresses the role of technology and the dramatic rise and importance of social media and data driven decision making. Framed around the functional areas of management - Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Influencing, and Controlling -- the authors continue to emphasize the need for organizations and their people to be guided by effective leadership and continuous improvement.

Ethical Management boxes showcase managers facing decisions that contain a variety of issues and consequences for themselves and others. Valuing Diversity and Inclusion boxes depict unique ways in which organizations show appreciation for their diverse employees.
