We are delighted to introduce a product of such high quality to the Canadian market. The American editions have received an excellent reception and a high level of support. This book is innovative in its attempt to integrate contemporary management theories and approaches into the analysis of management and organizations. The goal has been to distill new and classic theorizing and research into a contemporary framework that is compatible with the traditional focus on management as planning, leading, organizing, and controlling, but which transcends this traditional approach. The contemporary approach is evident in the writing and theme of the book: the study of management is not just for managers and would-be managers; it helps everyone who works in an organization understand how and why priorities get set. As you examine the Table of Contents and peruse our treatment of management issues, you will see why Contemporary Management outshines other management books. The concepts and theories discussed show how managers deal with the many new issues and challenges they face, such as promoting and sustaining a competitive advantage, managing new information technology, developing big global organizations, and managing a diverse workforce. We also show how this happens in the Canadian environment, where managers are more likely to face the challenges of unionization and public sector organizations. The first Canadian edition retains the features of the successful US 1st edition, while reflecting the differences that managers face in the Canadian workplace, the theory development that has been done in Canada, and the political and environmental context that affects organizational and managerial performance. Topics are based on the order in which real managers do their jobs. The 4 functional areas of management are discussed in depth and well covered, but these are not used as the organizing principle of the text. Thus instructors are not forced to follow the functional approach.The Manager as a Person. A unique chapter covered only in Jones et al. Presents managers as real people with strengths, weakness, challenges and opportunities. Appeals to OB-oriented instructors and gives students an appreciation of challenges faced by managers.Integrated boxes to highlight themes of Diversity, Ethics, GlobalizationSmall Group Breakout feature to enable students to develop teamwork and collaborative skills.WWW exercises

Jones and George are dedicated to the challenge of "Making It Real" for students. The authors present management in a way that makes its relevance obvious even to students who might lack exposure to a "real-life" management context. Their goal is to relate management theory to real life examples to drive home the message that management matters both because it determines how well organizations perform, and because managers and organizations affect the lives of people who work inside them and people outside the organization, such as customers, communities, and shareholders."Essentials of Management" concisely surveys current management theories and research. Through a variety of real world examples from small, medium, and large companies the reader learns how those ideas are used by practicing managers. The organization of this text follows the mainstream functional approach of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling; but the content is flexible and encourages instructors to use the organization they are most comfortable with.One of the most popular features of the book has always been its focus on the "Manager as a Person," which discusses managers as real people with their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and problems. In the 2nd Edition, the authors expand on this theme by discussing the importance of management competencies -the specific set of skills, abilities, and experiences that gives one manager the ability to perform at a higher level than another in a specific context. The themes of diversity, ethics, globalization, and information technology - all areas of importance that make up the workplace realities that today's student will encounter in the course of a career - have also been greatly expanded in the 2nd Edition in the text, photographs, "unboxed" stories, and the end-of-chapter material.
