I specially appreciate the links for research and other sources from which the text draws support.Ĭontent is mostly up-to-date and therefore, I am not too concerned about the lack of editions that such a format does not offer. The content is error-free, unbiased, and for the most part accurate. Then again, in my opinion, most textbooks do a poor job with this topic. I am not too happy with the leadership chapter. Some of the examples may be outdated but that is understandable considering that this book was published in 2015 and the fact that the world of business has been experiencing a number of transitions. This material does a good job going over key concepts as well as terminology relevant in this area. Any core business class on management focuses on the four functions of management- planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. This open text covers all pertinent areas related to principles of management.
