To help you meet such challenges, we introduce you to the third edition of Management. We hasten to point out that this third edition has benefited greatly from many useful suggestions from others. For example, in preparing this edition, we have been careful to retain the many features that adopters and student users of our earlier editions applaud. At the same time, we have worked hard to incorporate suggestions that would make this third edition even better than our earlier two. Many of these suggestions have come from adopters of our earlier editions at more than 200 colleges and universities.
