We are delighted to introduce a product of such high quality to the Canadian market. The American editions have received an excellent reception and a high level of support. This book is innovative in its attempt to integrate contemporary management theories and approaches into the analysis of management and organizations. The goal has been to distill new and classic theorizing and research into a contemporary framework that is compatible with the traditional focus on management as planning, leading, organizing, and controlling, but which transcends this traditional approach. The contemporary approach is evident in the writing and theme of the book: the study of management is not just for managers and would-be managers; it helps everyone who works in an organization understand how and why priorities get set. As you examine the Table of Contents and peruse our treatment of management issues, you will see why Contemporary Management outshines other management books. The concepts and theories discussed show how managers deal with the many new issues and challenges they face, such as promoting and sustaining a competitive advantage, managing new information technology, developing big global organizations, and managing a diverse workforce. We also show how this happens in the Canadian environment, where managers are more likely to face the challenges of unionization and public sector organizations. The first Canadian edition retains the features of the successful US 1st edition, while reflecting the differences that managers face in the Canadian workplace, the theory development that has been done in Canada, and the political and environmental context that affects organizational and managerial performance. Topics are based on the order in which real managers do their jobs. The 4 functional areas of management are discussed in depth and well covered, but these are not used as the organizing principle of the text. Thus instructors are not forced to follow the functional approach.The Manager as a Person. A unique chapter covered only in Jones et al. Presents managers as real people with strengths, weakness, challenges and opportunities. Appeals to OB-oriented instructors and gives students an appreciation of challenges faced by managers.Integrated boxes to highlight themes of Diversity, Ethics, GlobalizationSmall Group Breakout feature to enable students to develop teamwork and collaborative skills.WWW exercises

When first introduced to the market in 1998, Contemporary Management, by Jones and George made a huge splash with its innovative voice, content, pedagogy, design, and package. The cutting-edge 3rd Edition continues to redefine what principles of management texts should look, sound, and feel like. Authors Gareth Jones and Jennifer George are dedicated to the challenge of “Making It Real” for students. As a team, they are uniquely qualified to write about both the strategic imperative for managers and organizational challenges that real managers face! Their combined research and text-writing experience is matched by no author team today. Contemporary Management is a comprehensive text that surveys the theoretical underpinnings of modern management thought and research and through a variety of real world examples from small, medium, and large companies shows the reader how those ideas are used by practicing managers. Of course, 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 have been greatly expanded in the 3rd Edition 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.
