As the textbook for my Intro to Management class, MGMT4 was a really good choice. I didn't expect much depth as it was an intro class, so the level of detail was just right. I feel as though I have a much better understanding of management (theory and practice) than I did before I read the book, and I'll probably keep it as a reference. The text used interesting examples of real-world businesses, and I enjoyed (as much as it is possible for me to enjoy reading about business) reading the chapters.
