Management book by John Jr Schermenrhorn

I love the book, it's very easy to read and understand. The best thing about this book is that it has its own web page that offers Power point slides , Test, recorders, DVD, that help to the best understanding. that is an excellent service. It would be nice if the access code needed to access the website is provided with the purchase of the book.

THIS IS A TERRIFIC TEXT!

An excellent introduction to management theory and practices. Major subjects are economic and social environment, planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, each containing key topics such as motivation and teamwork. Each chapter offers examples (provided as embedded boxes), begins with study questions to provide learning objectives and an opening headline, and concludes with an excellent summarization of key points, a self-test that is in depth and challenging, and a listing of key terms. Do's and don'ts of managerial behavior are highlighted. Photos and diagrams add color and clarity. There are also career development tools, cases and exercises, research projects, and management skills assessments linked to each chapter and available online and in interactive format at a website. A website has been developed in support of this text. Includes CD-ROM and a good glossary. THIS IS A TERRIFIC TEXT!
