Schermerhorn, Management 14e continues to offer the same balanced theory approach as with previous editions. Students need an active and engaged learning classroom environment that brings personal meaning to course content and the instructor’s course objectives.
Schermerhorn communicates with students through rich, timely features and cases that bring management topics, theories, and concepts to life. The underlying goal is to translate foundation theories into lasting tools for students as they move beyond the classroom where their skills will be put to the test.
