Abstract

A new view of the four functions of Management: through the lens of leadership The pace and scope of change in the world and organisations during the past 10 years is unprecedented. In this environment, staying ahead of the curve and preparing for success in work, management and leadership is challenging.

Amidst the financial crises, catastrophic disasters, and business scandals frequently making headlines, Annie McKee and the Australian authors of this new text Management: a Focus on Leaders, believe there is a unique opportunity to re-focus the way students are prepared for their future in business.

Show future managers how to lead in a complex, yet exciting, global environment

With an engaging writing style and an outcome-driven approach, Annie McKee and Australian authors Travis Kemp and Gordon Spence directly address the many behavioural, social, cognitive and emotional challenges beyond the four functions of management.

Management features exciting Australasian and global case studies and easy, student-friendly teaching tools. Unique Decision Making mini-simulations using adaptive technology allow students to make management decisions and see the impact of their decisions.
