About the Book

Students have changed. Has your textbook kept up? There are things your students cana t wait to open. Their Principles of Management text should be one of them. Exploring Management in Modules, by John Schermerhorn, is an exciting and new approach to Principles of Management textbooks. Written by an instructor who teaches Principles of Management every semester, Exploring Management is organized using an innovative modular approach that presents the material in manageable chunks. Students want to succeed and Exploring Management in Modules facilitates active student learning and assessment. A built--in study guide stops the student every 6--8 pages to review the material they just read while test prep at the end of each module allows students to assess their comprehension and feel confident about doing well on the next quiz or exam. In addition, Exploring Management in Modules reaches your students just like you do in your classroom by using up--to--date examples, challenging yet fun exercises, self--assessments and an exclusive and free online casebook featuring companies like MySpace.com and Nike. This is a book that works with you as you build excitement about management.
