good book

Good book. Good service. There were no highlighting or anything wrong with this book. Thanks for the speedy service.

Daft does a nice job

The case studies are really, really current and of reasonable depth - I enjoyed reading them so much I actually considered keeping this book. In all, the author uses real world examples to convey the message; I couldn't think of a better way to teach the subject.

Easy access to the world of Management

This book serves as a good introductory text to the interesting and vastly complex field of management. As with anything comprehensive, a single book cannot cover (in depth) all that needs to be covered and thus, some one who aims for detailed information on ERPs, supply-chain management, Porter's 5 Forces, Fredrick Taylor's early thoughts on scientific management, or Maslow's hierarchy of needs... will need to read the respective books to satisfy demand. However, if you are looking for a general overview of the subject of management, Richard L. Daft's book is a great way to acquire that knowledge. Written in an entertaining and colourful manner, the book introduces most of the essential ideas of modern management & organizational theory playfully and with ease, providing a sound foundation on which further studies can be based and which will ultimately facilitate access to more complex materials. In my eyes an excellent book for its intended target group: A recommended read for those new to the discipline of management.

One of the best in its field

In my opinion this is one of the best text books on management I read. I am using it extensively with undergraduate students for whom the English is a foreign language, and still they do not encounter any difficulties, either in understanding the text or the cases. Arie Aviram Ph.D.

A great investment for learning about management

I had the opportunity of reading the book as part of an MBA course. I found it difficult to put down. The content presented logically and discusses contemporary as well as historic theories. The writing style makes it very interesting to read.Each concept is strengthened with business problems and solutions. There are helpful questionnaires, case study questions. They also help you understand your strengths and weaknesses. The great thing about it is that these problems are real ones. All the definitions are listed out on the margins which is great for quick reference and studying.The CD-ROM has some useful clips and software. If you are new to management or want to brush up your managment knowledge my advice is - go for it.Its a good book.
