I like it, BUT...
I am taking a college class, where this book is the required textbook. I am also a person that prefers to read things on screen than on the paper. This book came with a CD-ROM and with an InfoTrac subscription. And so I decided I would try out the CD and see what it has to offer. I was looking forward to browsing through the full text of the book, especially since I paid a lot of money for it, and well, WAS I IN FOR A HUGE SURPRISE!!! The entire CD is empty, except of a tiny (52KB) html file which redirects the user to the company webpage. WHAT A WASTE! A tiny floppy disk would have been enough, but NO it has to be a CD, since that looks better on the cover...Anyways, I would recommend the book for anybody wanting to learn about Management the old way, on paper. If you, like me, enjoy using the new technologies, I would rather look further until I found a book that came with a CD that is actually worth the effort of putting it in the drive...

A great investment for learning about management
I had the opportunity of reading the book as part of an MBA course. I found it difficult to put down. The content presented logically and discusses contemporary as well as historic theories. The writing style makes it very interesting to read.
Each concept is strengthened with business problems and solutions. There are helpful questionnaires, case study questions. They also help you understand your strengths and weaknesses. The great thing about it is that these problems are real ones. All the definitions are listed out on the margins which is great for quick reference and studying.
The CD-ROM has some useful clips and software. If you are new to management or want to brush up your managment knowledge my advice is - go for it.
