Features: Management is an applied discipline. However, if classroom instruction always traces the history of management research and theory development, it is not conducive to students becoming true managers in the future. A theoretical framework can provide business school graduates with the information and arguments needed to understand management situations. However, to become competent managers, students must engage in management practice and receive feedback on their behavior. Today, the expectations for students have shifted from learning theory to better understand knowledge to learning skills to improve themselves. As one management education scholar has said, "Management students need to practice how to motivate others to accomplish tasks and achieve goals, rather than just reading about six different theories of motivation for comparison and contrast." This book covers all aspects of organizational management, from supervision to interpersonal relationships, from employee placement to performance evaluation, from employee development to leading change, and handling conflicts, as well as various other skills.
