Management has been described as "the art of getting things done through people." In other words, it is the process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling others so that organizational objectives are reached. Managers are essential to the effective functioning of modern society. When the International Monetary Fund predicts that Canada will lead the industrial world in economic growth through 1998, it means the world can look to organizations here for examples of innovation, mastery of knowledge and resources, and the pursuit of excellence.
The Third Edition of Contemporary Management in Canada provides students with an understanding of what managers actually do, the day-to-day dynamics of managerial work, the issues managers face globally as well as in Canada, and the challenges managers will confront in the new millennium. If you've looked at the text, you have already encountered its numerous examples from real-life Canadian organizations and the many occasions for analysis offered by over 75 cases.
