8. Implementation in a Course
SM5 offers an integrative package:
15 chapters of text (with lots of examples)
8 readings
15 cases
Not built around a central conceptual framework that must be built
through a pre-defined sequence of chapters
Instead, offers a “toolbox” of important concepts and theoretical
constructs that have practical application to management
Very flexible—after Part 1, chapters can be taught in multiple
sequences; certain topics can be omitted in short courses
Links research findings to good managerial practice
End-chapter questions, cases study questions, and suggested student
papers/projects get students to work through concepts, come up with
detailed analysis and practical solutions
