This student-friendly text features a complete review of essential management concepts and techniques. Dessler concentrates on basic management principles, offering traditional process coverage with an emphasis on practical and applied management skills. Case studies, exercises, and checklists in each chapter encourage students to transfer management concepts from the text to real-world decision making, planning, and leading. The 2007 Third Edition of Management: Principles and Practices for Tomorrow's Leaders has been updated by the author with new chapter-opening vignettes, examples, tables, and endnotes. The text maintains the table of contents and basic features from the 2004 text for a seamless transition between the two editions.
