Features: This book is written by the authors based on their many years of teaching and research in management theory. During the writing process, special emphasis was placed on "three combinations": the combination of theory and practicality; the combination of professionalism and popularization; and the combination of classic management theories and the latest management achievements. The book consists of 3 parts, 18 chapters in total. Part 1 is General Management, including 4 chapters: Introduction to Management, Management Theories, Management and Environment, Strategy and Strategic Management. Part 2 is Management Process, including 9 chapters: Decision Making, Planning, Organizing, Human Resource Management, Leadership, Motivation, Communication, Control, and Evaluation of Management Performance. Part 3 is Management Methods, including 5 chapters: Overview of Management Methods, Business Management, Conflict Management, Risk Management, and Management Innovation. The book has an innovative structure. It breaks the traditional four management functions as the main thread for arranging chapters, instead following a logical order starting with management theory, centered around management process, and supported by management methods. The content is rich. The book strives to be comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical, fully introducing the basic theories and methods of management and reflecting the latest developments in the field. Academic rigor. The content selected for this textbook adheres to this principle, ensuring that students can keep pace with the times without causing confusion in their thinking. Practical value. Each chapter is accompanied by cases, aiming to closely combine the learning and application of management theory, preventing the misconception of "learning theory now and applying it later" and falling into a "pure theory" learning trap, which leads to a separation of learning and application.
