The seventh edition of Management: A Practical Introduction by Kinicki/Williams—a concepts book for the introductory course in management-uses a wealth of instructor feedback to identify which features from prior editions worked best and which should be improved and expanded. By blending Angelo’s scholarship teaching and management-consulting experience with Brian’s writing and publishing background we have again tried to create a research-based yet highly readable practical and motivational text.The primary goal is simple to state but hard to execute: to make learning Principles of Management as easy effective and efficient as possible. Accordingly the book integrates writing illustration design and magazine-like layout in a program of learning that appeals to the visual sensibilities and respects the time constraints and different learning styles of today’s students. It is the hope that this product will make a difference in the lives of students to produce a product that students will enjoy reading and that will provide them with practical benefits.
