Eleven animated video clips provide additional explanations of some of the toughest concepts to grasp, such as conducting a SWOT analysis, the organization-environment relationship, financial analysis, ethics, decision making, and organizational development. Approximately 15 of the figures are dynamic and interactive, allowing students to study, work with, and master the material more easily and thoroughly. "On the Job" videos are embedded within the cases for convenience. A truly unique breakthrough in MANAGEMENT, 12E’s MindTap™ is the inclusion of online role-play exercises and group activities. These experiential exercises help students to "think and act like managers" by giving them opportunities to collaborate online, apply course concepts, and create solutions to realistic management problems. These assignments enable students to practice the kind of technical, human, and conceptual skills that today’s companies say they want in the managers they hire. Accessible to students and teachers only within MindTap™, this turnkey homework solution works for both online and on-ground students. No other educational product offers this unique combination of value-adding, skill-building content and collaborative work tools. All homework, quiz, and test question banks have been revised and updated to work together in a continuous flow for students. The questions grow in intensity, preparing students for increasingly challenging questions on the exams. The 12th edition of MANAGEMENT has been thoroughly updated with countless new examples taken from the most current business news stories. New material includes Hot Topics such as managerial scandals in the U.S. Secret Service, customer demands for ethical behavior in suppliers, international governmental regulations, energy and other resources, the need for optimism, and the response to natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy. There also are numerous new Innovative Way mini-cases spotlighting companies such as HCL Technologies, Morning Star, Menlo Innovations, Olympus, Nasty Gal, Toyota, Yahoo, Virgin Group, and Hallmark Cards. In response to reviewers' requests, the author has included new or dramatically revised sections on managing the technology-driven workplace, managing the people-driven workplace, the organization-environment relationship, managers' ethical choices, managing change, innovations in HRM, leadership, motivation, and more. Two-thirds of the "On the Job" video cases have been replaced with new video clips focusing on common managerial dilemmas and providing an insider's look at how real-world managers solve them. These new video clips highlight managers at the kind of small and large companies to which students can relate, such as Honest Tea, Mi Ola Swimwear, Bissell Brothers Microbrewery, and Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning.
