Jones/George, Essentials of Contemporary Management is the concise edition of the market bestselling textbook by the same author team. Jones and George are dedicated to the challenge of โMaking It Realโ for students. The authors present management in a way that makes its relevance obvious even to students who might lack exposure to a โreal-lifeโ management context. This is accomplished thru a diverse set of examples, and the unique, and most popular feature of the text, the โManager as a Personโ Chapter 2. This chapter discusses managers as real people with their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and problems and this theme is carried thru the remaining chapters. This text also discusses the importance of management competencies--the specific set of skills, abilities, and experiences that gives one manager the ability to perform at a higher level than another in a specific context. The themes of diversity, ethics, globalization, and information technology are integrated throughout. Review: Great Book - If you are looking for a book on Management this is the book for you. It starts off very basic but then gets into it deeply. Well written. Easy to understand. I would recommend this book to everyone in a management position.

I bought this book for a Management Class I am taking
What I like about this book is in the margins the highlighted words in the text of the paragraph are pulled to the side with the definitions. This is helpful for the online quizzes that we take every week. This book also has interesting stories of real life companies and how they got past their failures to their successes. I wish there were more examples like that in the book.

Good enough but not a keeper
I do keep some textbooks that I find I can refer back to because they are that good. This one is good but not quite good enough to be a keeper. There are other less expensive books out there with these concepts that are much less expensive for future reference.
