Griffin carefully examines today's emerging management topics, including the impact of technology, importance of a green business environment, ethical challenges, and the need to adapt in changing times. This edition builds on proven success to help strengthen your management skills with a balance of classic theory and contemporary practice. Numerous new and popular cases and learning features highlight the challenges facing today's managers.
