Summary
Contemporary Issues in Management and Organisational Behaviour is a first edition management text that will enthuse and stretch the minds of MBA and senior undergraduate students alike.
This book includes contributions from a selection of authors who are great teachers and superb researchers. They represent some of the most well-regarded management theorists in the Asia-Pacific region. Their thinking is leading edge; their writing moves well beyond the accepted canon of knowledge for each topic. They ask how widely accepted theories and the latest thinking can best speak to today’s students of management and organisations, and to readers seeking something different and more engaging.
Contemporary Issues in Management and Organisational Behaviour is thought-provoking, encourages discussion and contains the latest thinking. From culture to leadership, the text includes the best of today’s management topics; and from emotional intelligence to global business competencies, it also introduces the best of tomorrow’s theories.
