Management: Challenges for Tomorrow's Leaders (with InfoTrac 1-Semester)
The text asks students to look at numerous ethical issues, and asks them to take a stand, thereby encouraging students to role-play and envision themselves as leaders and managers.  Further, the topics of social responsibility and ethics are not simply lists of theories, but discuss how to make managerial decisions and conduct strategic planning with these areas in mind.The book was chosen because of the way it is organized (planning, organizing, leading and controlling).  The book support is superior to others.  It definitely has lived up to all expectations.Single most significant reason for selection of the Lewis text is readability for the student. However, most significant reason from the faculty perspective is the section on discussion questions.I think the approach of totally integrating leadership with the core management functions in the principles course adds a lot of value and makes an improvement to the text.  Having also seen the 3rd edition of the text, I might also remark that I think it is one of the most comprehensive texts for a principles course, covering very well some of the key topics, such as organizational structure, which other principles texts often do fairly poorly.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
