Management: A Practical Introduction, 10th edition, empowers students to develop their career readiness. Developed to help students read and learn management with a purpose, it takes a student centered approach. This is the first product to uniquely integrate a strategic career readiness theme throughout to address employers concerns about students graduating without being career ready.

Angelo DeNisi reports on the results of ten years of research into cognitive processes, concentrating on how information is acquired, whether it is subject to bias and how this influences performance appraisal.
Blending scholarship and imaginative writing, ASU business professor Kinicki (of Kreitner/Kinicki Organizational Behavior 5e) and writer Williams (of Williams/Sawyer Using Information Technology 5e) have created a highly readable introductory management text in an exciting student-friendly layout certain to be well received by today's visually oriented students. The authors have structured Management as a series of two-page spreads (i.e., left and right facing pages) of 2 - 6 pages per section, to optimize learning by presenting information in easily mastered "bite-size" chunks. Although the text is organized in a unique manner, the coverage of basic management concepts and principles is still prevalent. And besides presenting fundamental concepts of management, the book emphasizes practical advice throughout, expressed in the features "The Manager's Toolbox," "Practical Action" boxes, real-life "Example" boxes, "Management in Action" and "Ethical Dilemma" cases, and the Web-based "Taking Something Practical Away from this Chapter.
In addition to facilitating active learning, this text aims to meet the needs of instructors for OB course. It provides coverage of topics such as diversity in organizations, ethics, and globalization, which are recommended by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
OB, Fifth Canadian Edition continues to build on the solid foundation of the previous edition. The mantra that has guided this edition is to create "a concise, up-to-date, practical, user-friendly, interesting, and engaging introduction to the field of organization behaviour." The authors focus on key concepts, real-life applications, and best practices, while at the same time providing updated OB examples and theories that are the backbone of organizational behaviour. The Fifth edition is concise and flexible and has maintained the adaptability of the text to a traditional one semester term, summer and inter-sessions, management development seminars, MBA program and/or a distance learning program. Instructors are encouraged to mix and match chapters in various combinations to suit their course outline and to get the most out of the OB teaching/learning experience.
