Customer Rating: Summary: Could not beat the price Comment: I purchased this book along with another book and what I paid for 2 books I would have paid for 1. So I just keep on coming back to Amazon for my books.
Customer Rating: Summary: Exactly the book I needed Comment: This book arrived promptly and is in very good condition. It is exactly the edition I needed. Customer Rating: Summary: INFORMATIVE Comment: Purchased this book for class, and it provides a lot of useful information and instructor teaches right out of it. Not too boring because it provides real life examples. Customer Rating: Summary: okay book Comment: I had working knowledge of some of the principles discussed in this book, but feel like it lacked in depth in a lot of places. It mentions Dr. Deming, but barely scratches the surface of TQM (total quality management). The chapters on human resources and ethics were probably my favorites but I had a great teacher with lots of experience and relatable stories. I agree with others the bank tests are useful only for padding your GPA. I never used the internet access even though I purchased the book new, not sure I missed anything though. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Basic Book on Management Comment: This is a good basic book on management which delves into the application of management concepts in organizations. The book explains how the four functions of management namely planning, organizing, leading and controlling are integrated and how they contribute to the success of a firm.
The authors methodically explain the management concepts and they provide readers with various tools and techniques that they can employ to effectively manage their organizations. The authors reinforced their message with numerous examples, illustrations, stories and case studies that are useful for assimilating the management concepts. There are some useful internet references that the reader can refer to should they need additional information. However, one does not need to stop reading to refer to the internet site but rather can visit it at one's own pleasure.
This is well written book in simple and straightforward English which should allow any reader with basic understanding of English to follow and understand the message. The book is also well laid out and attractive. It also covers ethical considerations that are very critical in today's business environment.
All-in-all, this is a good and comprehensive book on management which should meet the needs of business students at undergraduate levels or for any reader who needs to learn the fundamental management principles and their practical application.
Robbins and Coulter's best-selling text demonstrates the real-world applications of management concepts and makes management come alive by bringing real managers and readers together. As it successfully integrates the various functions of management, the book establishes a dialogue with managers from a variety of fields. The authors examine managerial issues concerning defining the manager's terrain, planning, organizing, leading and controlling. For managers of all kinds.
