Product Description
Management (9780078112713): Angelo Kinicki, Brian Williams: Books. Why did I write this book? People frequently ask me why I decided to write a Principles of Management text book. The answer is three fold. First, I wanted to write a book on this topic because of my desire to influence how students, who surely will be future managers in many industries, think about management. In a small way, I hope that our book positively impacts the way managers manage, thereby having a positive effect on the lives of others. My goal is to influence the lives of others! The second reason revolves around my consulting experience. I have consulted with hundreds of organizations around the world and I wanted to infuse my textbook writing with this experience. This experience has helped Brain Williams, my coauthor, and I to write a very practical book. The third reason revolves around Brian. He is an accomplished book writer who has the ability to make the complex understandable. He is a beautiful writer. Our plan was to integrate my academic, consulting, and book writing background with Brian's skills to produce a book that was truly unique. We also envisioned a layout for the book that had not been developed at the time. Our layout, which looks more like a magazine, is now being copied by other publishers. We hope you like the final product.Users of this book can expect to find an up-to-date, practical, interesting, and easy to read treatment about principles of management.
