Contemporary Management by Jones and George distinguishes itself through its authorship, comprehensive/current contents, exceptionally rich and relevant examples, and applications/experiential exercises provided in every single chapter. The new eighth edition of Contemporary Management continues to provide students the most current and up-to-date account of the changes taking place in the world of business management. Jones and George focus on keeping it relevant and interesting to students, while still mirroring the changes taking place in management practices by incorporating recent developments in management theory and research through vivid, current examples of how managers of companies large and small have responded to the changes taking place.
