Management, 6th Edition

We live in dynamic times and business as usual is no longer an option. Management students must be well prepared to manage modern, ever-changing organisations.

The new 6th edition of Management is once again a resource at the leading edge of thinking and research for this dynamic discipline. Blending management theory with inspiring and innovative management practices, Robbins shows managers and organisations how to meet their economic, environmental and social responsibilities.

Management 6e is accompanied by a flexible and completely revised suite of instructor and student resources designed to encourage critical thinking, make management concepts meaningful, and excite students about the possibilities of a career in management.
