Recognizing that nearly all books dealing with management and organizational behavior are written by academics, Wessex Press has developed a practical new series that briefly and succinctly covers essential topics in business disciplines. Written by business professionals, these texts present relevant concepts in a concise and easy-to-understand manner. Dealing with the current issues in management, the first book in the series — Fast-Track Management and Organizational Behavior — now in its third edition, explains global differences in management, adjustments to the economic recession and recovery, new topics in technology and manufacturing, and other challenges facing managers in the 21st century. The book covers a semester’s worth of topics, is replete with supportive materials such as PowerPoint slides, cases, teaching ideas, and an annotated syllabus, and is an invaluable resource that can be used to improve management practices and not just have students earn a grade.
