This adaptation builds on all the reasons for the international success of Robbins & Coulter's Management textbook - engaging students by using real-world examples to bring management theories to life, this time with a special focus on the Arab region. Insights from Arab managers are featured in every chapter, while additional in-depth interviews with Arab business leaders conclude each Part. Global and Arab region business examples will help students absorb core concepts and relate them to their own experiences. The book uses active learning features to develop students' ability to think critically and apply theory to real-life business situations. -- Description from Website.
