"The main strength is, in my opinion, in the way the author balances theory and practice -always backing empirical findings with theoretical and academic references and always translating concepts and theories into examples and cases."
Dr David Monciardini, Senior Lecturer in Management, University of Exeter
Management: Using Practice and Theory to Develop Skills, 8th edition by David Boddy, is a market-leading text in Management and an essential reading resource for today's students and tomorrow's managers. For 20 years, this text has introduced managers and students to the theory and practice of this broad discipline. As a comprehensive introduction to the themes and functions of management, this book is an accessible and academically rigorous guide through the field.
Now in its 8th Edition, this textbook continues to be the most up-to-date and reliable text in its field. It enables you to think critically by providing real-life case studies and linking theory to the six most critical employability skills employers look for - transforming you into the highly employable leader of tomorrow.
With this edition you also get access to the latest empirical evidence, case studies and employability tasks based on organisational management problems in the real world, making it easier for you even if you hold a diverse background and have alternate career intentions.
Key features include:
- Updated chapter case studies that link closely with theory, including Ryanair, BBC, Carlsberg, Google, and the Co-Op, featuring two new examples (W.L. Gore and Associates, and Amazon)
- Examples linking Management and Sustainability
- New empirical evidence (often in the "Key Ideas" feature) on key aspects of theory, including managers' preferred sources of information; how investors in high-tech start-ups decide who to back; how culture affects risk-taking by entrepreneurs; and the link between bureaucracy and performance.
