Boddy's Management provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the practice and theory of management. Designed to support those new to the field throughout their studies, the ninth edition of this textbook will help you to develop your clear thinking, data gathering, self-reflection, communication, and problem-solving skills. Key features include: - An integrated perspective (tasks, processes and contexts) encourages you to develop a coherent view of management as an activity which aims to create value in many types of organisation, including small, not-for-profit and social enterprises. - Case studies from across sectors help you to connect current management challenges with academic theory. - New chapter sections include coverage of the twin biodiversity and climate change crises, and of diversity and inclusion - all examples of grand societal challenges where change depends on securing agreement between diverse stakeholders. - New and updated 'Management in Practice' illustrations from many countries illustrate these and other pressing management issues. - The latest empirical evidence and academic research underpins chapter content.
