Management: Current Practices and New Directions [Hardcover]

"The Dyck/Neubert text is far and away the best management textbook that I have ever come across in my 12 years of a business professor."

"The major strengths of this text is the Mainstream and Multistream discussions; no other text does it this way, to my knowledge. The traditional materials, theories, studies, etc. covered in most traditional management texts are included here . . . "

"I will adopt it at its earliest availability--it brings my classroom and students into the 21st century and will be a delight to teach."
