[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Positive: no matter the topic, Schermerhorn treats it as if the reader has no prior knowledge. The definition and description of things like "organization" and "group project" receive the same treatment as how he writes about the Vroom-Jago leader-participation model. This writing strategy results in pages of boredom but also clear instruction on more abstract concepts, which are pretty much what management is.
Negative: lots of typos and other such errors. Painful to read at times.
