Description
Blending scholarship and imaginative writing, ASU business professor Kinicki (of Kreitner/Kinicki "Organizational Behavior 7e") and writer Williams (of Williams/Sawyer "Using Information Technology 7e") have created a highly readable introductory management text with a truly unique student-centered layout certain to be well received by today's visually oriented students. The authors present all basic management concepts and principles in "bite-size" chunks, 2- to 6-page sections to optimize student learning.
