Principles of Management is the introductory course taken by most undergraduate business majors, usually in their sophomore or junior year. Almost every text/course is organized around the four functions of management:

planning, leading, organizing, and controlling (PLOC). What makes the texts different are their approach to the subject (principles vs. OB focused) and their strengths of coverage (high/strategic vs. low level/applied/skills).

Internal Differentiation: Jones is our 'most OB-ish' midlevel text (comparable to Robbins/Coulter, Schermerhorn), Kinicki/Williams (paperback) is our 'most accessible, student-focused text' (same level as Robbins/DeCenzo, Daft/Marcic, Griffin, and Certo/Certo). Gomez-Mejia is our 'most applied principles text,' Hill is our 'most uncluttered, challenging principles text' (same level as Daft), and Bateman as our 'most traditional principles text.'

Jones/George Story: Two highly respected researchers and experienced writers, Gareth Jones and Jennifer George have come together to write Contemporary Management. This comprehensive text surveys the theoretical underpinnings of modern management thought and research. Through a variety of real world examples from small, medium, and large companies it shows the reader how those ideas are used by practicing managers.

NEW! Completely updated: Every chapter of this text was thoroughly updated to ensure currency and coverage of the latest developments in management today. Coverage of managing globally on Asians and Hispanics as fastest growing group (Ch. 5), new discussion on outsourcing (Ch. 12), 'green' business management, new coverage of ethics of manufacturing and outsourcing with threats to health of workers in foreign countries, and even new coverage on crisis management.

NEW! Expanded and updated coverage of Ethics, Diversity & Culture: The authors have updated and where necessary, expanded the coverage of ethics, diversity & culture to support student understanding of these important topics.

NEW! Management in the Movies: This faculty DVD makes it easy to bring that captivating power of big screen movies to the classroom! Each video clip illustrates a specific management topic in less than 2 1/2 minutes via a scene from major movies or TV show. E.g. Groups-13 Going On 30, Ethics - John Q, Global Management - Gung Ho. The Management is the Movies DVD is supported by an instructor manual with suggestions for usage of the clip, video summaries, and discussion questions for each segment! This DVD is available to all adopters of a McGraw-Hill Principles of Management text only.

NEW! AACSB integration in test bank and Instructor Manual: This text's proven test bank is now aligned with the AACSB guidelines, tagging each question according to the applicable knowledge and skills area (Global, Ethics and Social Responsibility, Legal and other External Environment, Communication, Diversity, Group Dynamics, Individual Dynamics, Production, and IT). Additionally, the Instructor Manual supports you in teaching that leads to Learning Outcomes.

NEW! Chapter-by-chapter Flash Tutorials for use in online courses or for students' personal study use. Overviews and animations for critical concepts in each chapters as well as interactive self-assessments for Ch. 3, Manager as a Person are available via the Online Learning Center.

Integration of Key Themes is one of the principles strengths of this text. The authors seamlessly integrate stories and examples about key issues¿integrated 'boxes' highlight key issues: Focus on Diversity, Ethics in Action, Manager as a Person, Management Insight, and Managing Globally.

A wealth of Experiential Exercises: The creative and flexible Management in Action end-of-chapter material that instructors and student alike enjoyed in previous editions has been retained. They are designed to be used in either large or small classes and each chapter includes:

* Topics for Discussion and Action
* Building Management Skills
* Small Group Breakout: The authors recognize that today working effectively in small groups is a vital skill for future managers. This feature ensures that students learn the importance of collaboration and teamwork in solving business challenges. It can be used in small or large classes.
* Exploring the World Wide Web requires students to actively search the Web to find an answer to the problems.
* Be the Manager presents a realistic scenario in which a manager/organization faces some kind of challenge, problem, or opportunity and the student plays the role of a manager offering advice and recommending a course of action based on the chapter content.
* Management Case in the News feature two Business Week Cases (based on actual Business Week articles) with discussion questions encourage students to read about and to analyze how real managers deal with real problems in the business world.

Full-chapter on Diversity (Ch. 5). This chapter provides in-text discussions on wage and position disparities and the advantages of ensuring fair treatment and representation, disabilities, sexual orientation, as well as discussions of managing diversity, and sexual harassment and ways to eradicate it.

Manager as a Person feature: focuses on how a real manager brought about change to their organization. These examples within the chapters give students the opportunity to reflect on how individual managers dealt with real-life on-the-job challenges related to various chapter concepts.

Managing Ethically exercise at the end of each chapter: Reflecting the increased importance of this topic in business today these new EOC exercises present students with an ethical scenario or dilemma and ask them, either individually or in a group, to think about the issues from an ethical perspective to understand the challenges facing practicing managers.

Rich and Relevant Examples: An important feature of our book is the way we use real-world examples and stories about managers and companies to drive home the applied lessons to students. Our reviewers were unanimous in their praise of the sheer range and depth of the rich, interesting examples we use to illustrate the chapter material and make it come alive. Moreover, unlike boxed material in other books, our boxes are seamlessly integrated into the text; they are an integral part of the learning experience, and not tacked on or isolated from the text itself. This is central to our pedagogical approach.

Video cases: A video case for every chapter is included at the end of the book. Each video case illustrates application of the relevant chapter concepts and has a corresponding video in DVD format. These cases feature timely and thought-provoking topics affecting the business environment, as well as profiles of successful businesses and managers.
