Managing in the information age

"Managing in the Information Age places the art and skills of management within social, economic, and political contexts, showing how management attitudes and activities are closely related to the environments in which they are practiced. The social, political, and organizational contexts of several types of information agencies are discussed, and different types of agencies are placed within the larger picture. Overarching issues, such as the importance of diversity in the workplace and the need for ethical approaches to managing, receive particular attention. Basic elements of management are addressed, including the organization and how it functions, leadership, motivation, communication, and marketing."--Jacket.
