This book is different from most in that it offers a comprehensive and balanced presentation of strategic management and organizational behavior concepts. It is all about bringing together the micro skills of people management with the macro skills of running a business.

Chapter titles Managing Change, Evaluating the External Environment, Ethics and Social Responsibility, Strategic Management, Organizational Structure and Design, Planning, Decision Making, Communication and Negotiation, Managing Human Resources, and Organizational Development and Transformation. For anyone in a professional business environment, preparing for a position in management.
