Blending scholarship and imaginative writing, ASU business professor Kinicki (of Kreitner/Kinicki Organizational Behavior 5e) and writer Williams (of Williams/Sawyer Using Information Technology 5e) have created a highly readable introductory management text in an exciting magazine-like layout certain to be well received by today's visually oriented students. The authors have structured Management as a series of two-page spreads (i.e., left and right facing pages) of 2 – 6 pages per section, to optimize learning by presenting information in easily mastered bite-size chunks. Besides presenting fundamental concepts of management, the book emphasizes practical advice throughout, expressed in the features The Manager's Toolbox, Practical Action boxes, real-life Example boxes, real-life Management in Action and Ethical Dilemma cases, and the Web-based Taking Something Practical Away from this Chapter
