Contemporary Management
Author: Gareth R Jones
Contemporary Management by Jones and George distinguishes itself through its authorship, comprehensive, current contents, rich and relevant examples and applications and experiential exercises provided in every single chapter. The cutting-edge 5th Edition continues to redefine what principles of management texts should look, sound, and feel like. As an author team Gareth Jones and Jennifer George are uniquely qualified to write about both the strategic and organizational challenges managers face. Contemporary Management is a comprehensive text that surveys the theoretical underpinnings of modern management thought and research. Through a variety of examples from small, medium, and large companies it shows the reader how those ideas are used by practicing managers. A hallmark of this text is its focus on the "Manager as a Person," which discusses managers as real people with their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and problems.

Author: Jan Williams
With the fourteenth edition of Financial and Managerial Accounting: The Basis for Business Decisions, the Williams author team carries on the tradition of being a solid foundation for students learning basic accounting concepts. Through the revision, the authors have further refined the financial accounting topics, while slightly expanding the managerial accounting material to provide even more balanced coverage.
Hallmarks of the text—including the solid Accounting Cycle Presentation, relevant pedagogy, and high quality, end-of-chapter material—have all been updated and enhanced through the revision. A new design enhances the graphical elements of the text, while the integration of several boxed elements provides a more streamlined approach to chapter topics.
