Summary: Daft keeping pace with changes !
Comment: I have come across the new edition of R. Daft's "Management" during lecturing MBA students in the Long Distance course of the University of Leicester, U.K (working in Athens, Greece with Icon International Ltd)
The structure and overall philosophy of the book keeps the well tested and succesful character that made it a must as a studying and teaching aid so many years now.
There is a steady persistance upon the strategical aspect of managerial decision making within a dramaticaly changing business world.
There is also a tendency to structure the book as a "palempseston" of succesive layers of introduction, theory, exhibits, case studies and reviews that make it so interesting that someone tends to disregard the number of pages.
What distinguishes the new edition from the previous one is not only the cover. It is rather an effort to adress the current concerns of managers who encountered the massive loss of dreams, during the previous two years. Yet, a light in the darkness of the busines world comes through focusing into the new shape of the working environment. After many dissapointments regarding expansion and growth in the e-business sphere and in the K(nowledge)-economy, many jobs lost and many projects abandoned, managers can return to the foundamentals of the every days work. As a matter of fact management is mainly doing work with others and it is there that things changed recently.
Daft offers a good opportunity for students and managers to rethink about their changing role instead of the changing paradigm of management that was his focus in the previous edition.
Very succesful approach and recommended to both pofessional and academics.
