Jones and George are dedicated to the challenge of "Making It Real" for students. As a team, they are uniquely qualified to write about the organizational challenges facing today's managers. No other author team in the management discipline matches their combined research and text-writing experience. 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. The themes of diversity, ethics, and information technology are clearly evident through in-text examples, photographs, "unboxed" stories, and the end-of-chapter material - all areas of importance that truly serve to bring to life the workplace realities that today's student will encounter in the course of a career.

Jones/Haddad - Essentials of Contemporary Management, "Makes Management Real" for students. The sixth Canadian edition presents management in a way that makes its relevance obvious even to students who may lack exposure to a "real-life" management context. Jones relates management theory to real life examples and drives home the message that management matters.

Essentials of Contemporary Management, Sixth Canadian edition, provides a concise offering of current management theories and research. Through a variety of real world examples from small, medium, and large companies, students learn how those ideas are used by practicing managers. The organization of the Jones text follows the mainstream functional approach of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, but the content is flexible. The important themes of diversity, ethics, globalization, and information technology are integrated throughout with examples, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, personalities, and problems to provide this context.

"In this ninth edition of Essentials of Contemporary Management, we continue to focus on providing the most up-to-date account of the changes taking place in the world of management and management practices while maintaining our emphasis on making our text relevant and interesting to students. And we know from feedback from instructors and students that the text does engage them. Our increased focus on the challenges and opportunities facing businesses large and small and integrated timely examples bring management issues to life for students. The number and complexity of strategic, organizational, and human resource challenges facing managers and employees continue to rise. In most companies, managers at all levels address these challenges by implementing new and improved management techniques and practices. Today, relatively small differences in performance between companies, such as in the speed at which they bring new products or services to market or in the ways they motivate their employees to find ways to reduce costs or improve performance, can combine to give a company a significant competitive advantage. Managers and companies that utilize proven management techniques and practices in their decision making and actions increase their effectiveness over time"--
