Vital Source EBook, MANAGEMENT FOUNDATIONS,
Professor Kathryn (Kay) Bartol
Business in the electronic age is rapidly changing the way managers work. This is making informed practice all the more significant.
Management Foundations equips students with the skills and knowledge required to meet these challenges and become effective and informed managers. Taking a critical thinking approach, and carefully tailored to suit a one-semester course, this twelve chapter streamlined text provides an excellent balance between theory and practice.
One of the most challenging issues for lecturers is teaching students to think critically and strategically about theories, and to develop decision-making and analytical skills of their own. With that in mind, each chapter of this text includes critical thinking questions as well as application exercises and case studies. These questions and cases invite students to carefully evaluate contemporary management debates in a regional and global context, and inspire the development of decision-making skills.
This title is supported by an outstanding integrated learning package, including a video case suite. These clips illustrate key concepts through real-life Australia/New Zealand application and are supported by case notes that reference videos to chapter themes. Further online resources include PowerPoint slides that di???;?A??¹??
still key concepts by chapter, a glossary, and self-study quizzes.
Instructors can also access a series of online chapters relating specifically to management in New Zealand, as well as the EZ Test Online application for easy test generation.

STRATEGIC MARKETING FORN NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS 7th International Edition
Professor Philip Kotler and Alan Andreasen,
This best-selling text focuses on the impact of nonprofit marketing in the social sector and the growing intersection between nonprofit management and the business world. The seventh edition reflects the fact that nonprofit marketing is poised to have a much greater impact on the field of nonprofit management and on the growing intersection between that sector and the business world. It also emphasizes the challenges of nonprofit marketing and having to influence multiple audiences for long-term success.
In the private sector, one focus can guide action. In the non-profit world, many balls must be kept rolling forward–and sometimes success in one does not lead to success in another.
Nonprofits are recognizing that branding is critical at the organizational level and have even made efforts to determine the value of their organizational branding.

Shipping strategy: innovating for success
Professor Peter Lorange
The shipping industry has an impact on each and every one of us every day. Ships transport the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the materials used to build our homes, and the fuel that heats them. Yet traditional shipping companies ones that combine various aspects of shipping under one organizational roof are on the decline. They are gradually being replaced by new, more specialized companies with more strategic clarity and managerial focus. In this book, the author draws on his experience in the shipping industry to show how companies can adapt to the fast-moving and volatile world of maritime business by devising strategies for future success, including specialization and innovation.

BEING HUMAN: A DARWINIAN THEORY OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Paul R. Lawrence
Being Human moves beyond Driven by offering a more unified theory of human behavior. In particular it offers a synthesis of the latest neuroscience findings on how the human prefrontal cortex works to check and balance the motivational impulses or drives generated by the unconscious brain. The Introduction to Being Human will help orient readers by presenting an overview of the entire book.
This manuscript represents an effort to address such broad and fundamental human issues that it invites a quick rejection as overly ambitious and amateurish. I, obviously, hope you will avoid this impulse, keep an open mind, and carefully consider the propositions of my synthesis on their merits. I also hope you will see this statement as a work-in-process, as I do. In this regard I will be highly appreciative of ours suggestions, your criticisms and, of course, of hour help in identifying factual errors.
The book is available to be downloaded and read in a number of different styles - individual chapters or the entire manuscript in PDF format.
