Features: This book contains 14 cases that examine topics typically covered in introductory courses on general management, including leadership, conflict resolution, teamwork, purpose and goal setting, management control, knowledge management, strategic planning and implementation, organizational design and strategy, cross-cultural issues, and corporate culture. These cases provide readers with the necessary materials for decision-making, offering a foundation for discussing the value and limitations of basic management concepts and analytical techniques. In each case, readers must assume the role of a decision-maker, define the problem or conflict, identify alternative solutions, examine relevant data, make decisions, and propose recommendations for implementing those decisions, thereby facilitating the understanding and application of theory.
