Add Tag | Summary: | Several key themes are prominent in this book. One critical theme is the ethical scrutiny under which managers work today. While the book has always included substantial coverage of ethics and social responsibility, even more attention has been devoted this time to topics such as corporate governance, ethical leadership, and the proper role of auditing. Another continuing theme is the global character of the field of management. A third key theme is information technology, and still another theme is the balance of theory and practise: managers need to have a sound basis for their decisions, but the theories that provide that basis must be grounded in reality. A fifth theme is that management is a generic activity not confined to large businesses |
