In addition, practical applications throughout the text show how theories relate to the real world. The third edition features thoroughly updated statistics and coverage of timely issues and dilemmas throughout the text.

• New co-author Chris MacDonald brings an enriched sense of hands-on reality.
• More than 20 new end-of-chapter readings, including new readings with global perspectives and on stakeholder theory.
• New and updated cases in the form of Opening Decision Points in every chapter.
• Expanded coverage of current topics such as the Enbridge oil spill in Canada’s Northwest Territories, the MBA Oath, whistleblowers, Goldman Sachs and corporate culture, social media in the employment context, bullying in the workplace, and the growing LIBOR scandal.
• Completely updated to make the text more readable, to clarify concepts, to better integrate theory and practice, and to improve end-of-chapter questions to better support assessment of student learning, group projects, and classroom discussion.
