Essential reading
For each topic you are required to study some readings that are essential
and compulsory. It is from this material that the majority of your
knowledge will be gained. It is therefore vital that you do all the Essential
reading specified.
All the Essential reading will be listed at the beginning of each chapter.
However, it is best to study these readings and the guide in parallel.
Therefore you will work from the guide and, at the most relevant points in
each chapter, you will be advised which is the relevant reading and when
to read it. Please note that when you are advised to read certain pages
in a chapter, this will usually refer to the section that starts and finishes
on those pages rather than all the text on them. It will be clear from the
subject matter of the section which passages you are intended to read. If
you flick through one of the chapters of the guide now, you will see how
this will work.
Key texts
One main key text has been selected for this course:
Mullins, L.J. Management and Organisational Behaviour. (Essex: Pearson
Education, 2010) ninth edition [ISBN 9780273728610].
One secondary key text has been selected to supplement this, because not
all topics are covered by Mullins (2010) and this will also offer you an
alternative perspective. This is:
Daft, R.L. New Era of Management. (Mason, Ohio: South Western: Cengage,
2008) second edition [ISBN 9780324537772].
Detailed reading references in this subject guide refer to the editions of the
set textbooks listed above. New editions of one or more of these textbooks
may have been published by the time you study this course. You can use
a more recent edition of any of the books; use the detailed chapter and
section headings and the index to identify relevant readings. Also check
the virtual learning environment (VLE) regularly for updated guidance on
readings.
In the past, Daft’s text (initially titled Management and then New Era of
Management) has not changed substantially, apart from updating of case
studies, etc. There may be a reordering of chapters. Both of the key texts
have new editions produced on a regular basis, but the content of the
Essential readings should be clear enough for you to use older versions if
necessary.
An alternative text which covers the course syllabus in most areas is:
Boddy, D. Management: An Introduction. (Harlow: FT Prentice Hall, 2008)
fourth edition [ISBN 9780273711063].
Readings in this text will be listed in the Further reading sections at the
beginning of chapters.
