Concise Handbook for New Managers

Thompson's 1990 book should have been rewritten not totally revised. His 1996 book also has its strengths and weaknesses and earns a "9" too. I taught some college courses in management using this book as a supplement and the students loved it, both traditional and nontraditional. For those fortunate to have this book, keep it. For those who can't get it, Thompson's newer reading has some of the same gems and covers more material. Both are recommended very highly, although the newer book can be obtained. Dr. Alan D. Kardoff
