Description
Essentials of Contemporary Management 6th edition by Jones and George offers a streamlined approach to understanding modern management principles, building on the foundations laid in Contemporary Management. The authors, George and Jones, are committed to making management concepts feel tangible and relatable for all college students, regardless of their prior exposure to real-world managerial situations. Utilizing a myriad of real-life scenarios, they successfully bridge the gap between theory and practice. One of the standout features of this textbook is the chapter titled “As a Person” (Chapter 2), which delves into the human aspect of management by portraying managers as individuals with unique strengths, weaknesses, personalities, challenges, and opportunities. This insightful perspective is woven throughout the subsequent chapters, enriching the reader’s understanding of the complexities of management.
