Synopsis

The 14th edition of Management: Leading and Collaborating in a Competitive World is written from the perspective of a current or future manager and emphasizes six essential performance dimensions: cost, quality, speed, innovation, service, and sustainability. Throughout the text, the authors remind students that these performance dimensions offer value to customers and competitive advantage to you and your organization.  This bottom-line, results-oriented approach is a unique hallmark of this text. Leadership is also a vital theme and includes working collaboratively toward outstanding results. Their mission is to inform, instruct and inspire you to be both a thinker and a doer.
