Recenzii

In an age where technology, disruption, diversity and responsibility are taking centre stage, this text is appropriately positioned to introduce management in the context of this reality. The text provokes critical thinking in an encouraging way for those new to learning about management, and challenges the mindsets of those more familiar with management theory and practice.
This text provides a robust, accessible, and yet critical introduction to management with clear examples and cases embedded throughout the text. It is an essential textbook for educators who would like to offer a rejuvenated overview of management with an eye on contemporary aspects that are critical for management such as sustainability, diversity, equality, and digitization.
Going beyond simply discussing traditional considerations in managing organisations, this text deals with contemporary challenges and puts an emphasis on societal, environmental, and digital considerations. This, in addition to the balance between theoretical concepts and practical examples, cases and insights, provides a great source of knowledge for future managers.
This text is the perfect introduction to the wonders of management insights, and how they continue to be relevant despite, or rather because of, the ever-changing and hyper-demanding (business) world we all experience.
This text explores the fundamental and current areas of management for undergraduate students in a novel and interesting way, and from a multitude of perspectives and contexts.
In an ever-changing world, this text helps students prepare for many of the challenges they will face during their careers.
The vast range of real-world examples and reflections in this text help to drive home to students what it takes to be an effective modern manager. The running case study will have you rooting for Lucy and co throughout!
A refreshingly inclusive and wide-ranging text that encourages critical thinking.
