5.0 out of 5 stars Fine Third Edition and Fourth Will Be Better, August 17, 1999

By	Dr. Alan D. Kardoff "animal lover" (Palm Bay, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: CPS Examination Review Management (Paperback)

As co-author I have found the MANAGEMENT text for the CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL SECRETARY EXAMINATION REVIEW SERIES, published by Prentice Hall to be helpful for college students and office professionals who are not necessarily seeking CPS certification. The fourth edition is being published now and should be out within a few weeks.

Excellent progress is being made in updating the fourth edition to include management tips related to electronic communication, e-commerce, and other technological developments. Key business and management concepts are covered in a friendly, understandable manner in both editions.

I have used these chapters with my college students, especially those on leadership, conflict management, and organizational behavior. This is a very useful book to have as a supplement but is not designed as a replacement for excellent management and organizational behavior principles texts written by many authors.

Secretaries, students, and administrative assistants who haven't considered seeking the CPS rating might do so. The three-part examination is administered two times a year, November and May, at various sites throughout the country as well as in overseas education centers.

I am thrilled to have worked with Dr. Betty Schroeder, Northern Illinois University on the Management book. Dr. Schroeder is the series editor and Office Systems and Administration, Finance and Business Law, and Management)published by Prentice Hall and endorsed by the International Association for Administrative Professionals, formerly Professional Secretaries International. Dr. Schroeder is a delightful co-author and superb editor.

Many of my college students and associates have sugested that Management be placed in libraries and other public places. The text is an excellent reference to consult for varied management issues.
