It’s used by several hundred U.S. colleges and universities; it’s translated into Spanish, French, Russian, Dutch, Bahasa, Korean, and Chinese; and there are adapted edi- tions for Australia, Canada, India, and the Arab World. For a textbook first published in 1984—in a crowded market where there are currently several dozen choices, why has Robbins/Coulter Management been so popular and enduring? We believe there are three characteristics that set us apart: contemporary topic coverage, read- ability, and relevance. Contemporary Topic Coverage We have always prided ourselves on bringing the latest management issues and research to this book. In preparing each edition, we carefully comb the academic journals and business periodicals to identify topics that students need to be current on. For instance, prior editions of this book were the first to discuss self-managed teams, emotional intelligence, open-book management, sustainability, social entrepreneurship, stretch goals, the contingent workforce, self-managed careers, wearable technology, big data, and design thinking. This current edition continues the tradition by including a new section on disruptive inno- vation. No topic appears to be more current or important to students today than dealing with major structural changes taking place in industries as varied as automobiles, hotels, banking, TV networks, or book publishing. In fact, there are few industries that aren’t being threat- ened by disruptive innovation. In Chapter 6, we define disruptive innovation; explain why it’s important; describe who is vulnerable; and discuss implications for entrepreneurs, corporate managers, and your career planning. Key Changes to the 14th Edition Chapter 6 on managing change has been expanded to include a discussion of disruptive in- novation as an important driver of change. The Part 2 module on creating and leading entrepreneurial ventures has become a separate chapter (Chapter 10). We’ve expanded our discussion, added end-of-chapter applications, and acknowledged the importance of entrepreneurship by giving it its own chapter. The two chapters on organizational design have been merged into one chapter (Chapter 11) in response to comments by users and reviewers. But we’ve retained the key concepts that students need to know. The addition of “Workplace Confidential” pages throughout the book which address com- mon frustrations and challenges that employees face in the workplace. Current and timely topics—including the Internet of things, real-time feedback, and choos- ing appropriate communication media, among others—have been added. Dozens of current examples illustrating management practices and challenges in start-up and established organizations, small and large organizations, and manufacturing, service and technology organizations have been added. Readability Every author claims his or her books are highly readable. The reality is that few actually are. From the first edition of this book, we were determined to make the field of manage- ment interesting and engaging for the reader. How did we do it? First, we committed to a 29 A01_ROBB5839_14_GE_FM.indd 29 11/07/17 9:33 AM 30 Preface conversational writing style. We wanted the book to read like normal people talk. Second, we relied on an extensive use of examples. As your senior author learned early in his teaching career, students don’t remember theories but they do remember stories. So you’ll find a wealth of current examples in this book. A well-written book should be able to be used successfully at all levels of higher education, from community colleges to graduate programs. And over its 30+ years of life, this book has done just that. You’ll find this book is used in community colleges, at for-profit colleges, by undergraduate students at both regional and land-grant uni- versities, and in numerous graduate programs. Relevance Students are unlikely to be motivated if they think a course and its textbooks aren’t relevant to their career goals. We’ve responded to this challenge in a number of ways. Our latest inclusion is an important new feature—the Workplace Confidential pages— that’s designed to make this book more meaningful to non-management majors. We also want to highlight four additional features that have helped build this book’s repu- tation for practicality. Providing value to non-management students. New to this edition are in-chapter pages entitled Workplace Confidential. This unique feature marks a distinct break from what typically has been included in the traditional introductory management text. Your authors have long heard a common complaint about the introductory manage- ment course from students in majors such as accounting, finance, and marketing. As summed up by one accounting student: “Why do I need to take a management course? I have no interest in pursuing a career in management!” Even though that accounting student might some day lead an audit team or manage an office of a major CPA firm, we understand those non-management majors who question the relevance of this course to their career goals. We’ve listened and responded. We’ve made the contents of this 14th edition relevant to any student who plans to work in an organization. Regardless of whether an organization employs three people or 300,000, there are common challenges that every employee encounters. We’ve researched those challenges and identified the nearly dozen-and-a-half most frequent. Then we looked at providing students with guidance for dealing with these challenges. The result is the Workplace Confidential features that you’ll find throughout this book. For instance, you’ll find suggestions for dealing with organizational politics, job stress, coping with an uncommunicative or abusive boss, and responding to an unfair performance review. Insights from real managers. One feature that has differentiated Robbins/Coulter for more than 15 years is our “real” managers. Student feedback tells us that they appreciate learning from real managers in their everyday jobs. In Let’s Get Real boxes, actual managers respond to problem scenarios. In Leader Making a Difference boxes, you’ll meet a variety of global executives whose knowledge and skills significantly influenced organizational outcomes. Focus on skills. Today’s students need both knowledge (knowing) and skills (doing). Students want to leave class knowing what management is all about but also with the skills necessary to help them succeed in today’s workplaces. In response, you’ll find several features in this book that are designed to build skill expertise. It’s Your Career chapter openers cover skills ranging from managing time and being self aware to being a pro at giving feedback and being change ready. These chapter open- ers include information about the skill and are reinforced with a Pearson MyLab Management component that tests students’ comprehension of the skill. Also, at the end of each chapter, you’ll find more skill exercises, where we provide a thorough discussion of additional skills and give students opportunities to practice these skills. Looking ahead. Students are going to spend most of their future work life in a setting that’s likely to look very different from today. To help students prepare for that future, we have included Future Vision boxes throughout the book that look at how A01_ROBB5839_14_GE_FM.indd 30 11/07/17 9:33 AM Preface 31 management and organizations might change over the next 15 to 20 years. Although no one has a perfectly accurate view into the future, certain trends in place today offer insights into what tomorrow’s work world might look like. We draw from recent research and forecasts to consider this future. Pearson MyLab Management Suggested Activities Making assessment activities available online for students to complete before coming to class will allow you, the instructor, more discussion time during the class to review areas that students are having difficulty in comprehending. The activities below are available in Pearson MyLab Management and are integrated into the textbook. Watch It Recommends a video clip that can be assigned to students for outside classroom viewing or that can be watched in the classroom. The video corresponds to the chapter material and is accompanied by multiple-choice questions that reinforce students’ comprehen- sion of the chapter content. Try It Recommends a mini simulation that can be assigned to students as an outside class- room activity or be done in the classroom. As the students watch the simulation they will be asked to make choices based on the scenario presented in the simulation. At the end of the simulation the student will receive immediate feedback based on the answers they gave. These simulations reinforce the concepts of the chapter and the students’ comprehension of those concepts. Talk About It These are discussion-type questions that can be assigned as an activity within the classroom. Write It Students can be assigned these broad-based, critical-thinking discussion questions that will challenge them to assimilate information that they’ve read in the chapter. Personal Inventory Assessments (PIA) Students learn better when they can connect what they are learning to their personal experience. PIA (Personal Inventory Assessments) is a collection of online exercises de- signed to promote self-reflection and engagement in students, enhancing their ability to connect with concepts taught in principles of management, organizational behavior, and human resource management classes. Assessments are assignable by instructors who can then track students’ completions. Student results include a written explanation along with a graphic display that shows how their results compare to the class as a whole. Instructors will also have access to this graphic representation of results to promote classroom discussion. Assisted Graded Writing Questions These are short essay questions that the students can complete as an assignment and submit to you, the professor, for grading.
