About this title

Synopsis

The world of managing people and processes continues to change dramatically. Managers are faced with the conflicting challenges of understanding and motivating an increasingly diverse workforce, being open and accountable to a wide variety of stakeholders, planning for the future in an increasingly changing environment and considering the ethical implications of decision-making. Contemporary Management offers a fresh and integrative view of the manager in the workplace in line with this changing environment. It views the manager as a person, working with people and within an organisation, and holding values and ethics. As such, modern issues such as diversity, cultural change and global management are given careful attention. Management is an integrated and sometimes intricate balance of dealing with people within an organisational context. For students, the prospect of managing others can be particularly daunting. Contemporary Management is written with the student in mind, with many current case studies, exercises and support materials included. In this thoroughly modern text, students learn that successful human interaction and communication are the real basis for effective and efficient management in business.
