3.0 out of 5 stars
Good and basic for community colleges but lacks depth+rigor,
By kardoffa@kic.or.jp (Okinawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Management: Leadership in Action (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
This text has been used by The University of Maryland's Asian Division in varying editions for some years. It is easy to read and follow. The support materials and end-of-chapter questions are good. The book has also been used by a community college and is more suited to two year programs than bachelor's degree level study. Many key concepts, principles, and theories are omitted or glossed over. The cases are almost too easy and also somewhat confusing. Some are hard for students to answer. The current edition is shortened from the previous version. This may be to meet the market's needs but which target audiences? Daft, Boone, and Robbins are just three authors who have better management principles texts on the market. Heilreigel(sp) and Slocum's text is also better. If using this text, a supplement like Brad Lee Thompson's "The New Manager's Handbook" or Blanchard/Johnson's "The One Minute Manager" would be very helpful. As I get ready to teach the 300 level management principles course via distance education, one of these books will be used to supplement Megginson, Mosley's text. Dr. Alan D. Kardoff

This review is from: Management : Leadership in Action (Student Companion) (Paperback)
Note that the paperback version is the student study companion to the hardback book, not a paperback version of the original text.
