Management,
technological, and economic changes. Any manager who still believed in the myth of
stability was rocked out of complacency when, one after another, large fi nancial institutions
in the United States began to fail. Business schools, as well as managers and
businesses, were scrambling to keep up with the fast-changing story and evaluate its
impact. This edition of Management addresses themes and issues that are directly relevant
to the current, fast-shifting business environment. I revised Management with
a goal of helping current and future managers fi nd innovative solutions to the problems
that plague today’s organizations—whether they are everyday challenges or
once-in-a-lifetime crises. The world in which most students will work as managers is
undergoing a tremendous upheaval. Ethical turmoil, the need for crisis management
skills, e-business, rapidly changing technologies, globalization, outsourcing, global
virtual teams, knowledge management, global supply chains, the Wall Street meltdown,
and other changes place demands on managers that go beyond the techniques
and ideas traditionally taught in management courses. Managing today requires the
full breadth of management skills and capabilities. This text provides comprehensive
coverage of both traditional management skills and the new competencies needed in
a turbulent environment characterized by economic turmoil, political confusion, and
general uncertainty
