MANAGEMENT, 12E, takes a functional, skills-based approach to the process of management with a focus on active planning, leading, organizing and controlling. Griffin carefully examines today's emerging management topics, including the impact of technology, importance of a green business environment, ethical challenges, and the need to adapt in changing times. This edition builds on proven success to help strengthen your management skills with a balance of classic theory and contemporary practice. Numerous new and popular cases and learning features highlight the challenges facing today's managers. Hundreds of well-researched contemporary examples, from Starbucks to The Hunger Games to professional baseball, vividly demonstrate the importance of strong management to any type of organization. MindTap has been completely revised and updated to incorporate a suite of new digital resources designed to facilitate and measure student success. Students can synchronously work together in the experiential exercises to create videos, write papers, deliver presentations and more. Interactive Self Assessments help students engage students by helping them make personal connections to the content presented in the chapter. Our adaptive learning solution provides customized questions, text, and video resources based on student proficiency.
