Product Description

This book is the second edition of the highly regarded and very readable management text by Paul Davidson and Ricky Griffin. It reflects the trends and practices of local business, the differences in local corporate culture and the nature of local organisations. This is presented within a global context of management, where the new work environment knows no geographic boundaries. A solid foundation of research provides the background against which Australian, New Zealand, Asia-Pacific, European and US illustrative examples are used. These examples are drawn from small to medium size companies and large multinational enterprises. A critical perspective is integrated throughout the book, as students are asked to analyse the theory in light of real world examples. The text emphasises the emerging challenges of e-business management, the importance of ethics in the global marketplace, diversity in the workforce, and the management of information technology and quality to achieve organisational goals. Written in an accessible and concise style, this book is designed for introductory courses in Management at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Management Text, January 14, 2006

By	Nathan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Management (Hardcover)

Griffin's text is well written and easy to follow. It is extremely thorough--that is, he provides details and examples that help exemplify the material. Many of my classes require poorly written textbooks that are unclear or jump all over the place, but Griffin's text is effectivly organized. Although it's expensive, as most are today, this is by far one of the best textbooks I've owned. If your professor doesn't explain things thoroughly, you'll probably still learn all you need to learn about management essentials through this text.
