Features: This book contains some distinctive, novel, and interesting content that has stood the test of time while also being creative. At the beginning of each chapter, the learning objectives are clearly stated, allowing students to preview the chapter's intent. The subsequent "Chapter Summary" is closely related to these learning objectives. The charts in the book help students grasp the key points of the subject and actively engage in the learning process. The illustrations interspersed throughout the chapters, including captions, can reinforce and even, in many cases, supplement the main text. The book includes cases from various types of organizations across multiple industries (manufacturing, services, defense industry) and different types of organizations (multinational, regional, non-profit, public). These cases are integrated into the main text. Another unique feature of this book is its focus on the six typical organizations mentioned earlier. They represent different types of organizations—large and small, for-profit and non-profit, manufacturing and service-oriented. This approach aims to achieve coherence and depth that a single case cannot.
