This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters.6922019-03-28T23:21:55Z2024-01-22T14:52:16ZLearning to Learn Online<img alt="Read more about Learning to Learn Online" title="Learning to Learn Online cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="994" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTkwNywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--a3971a0d92b12f0f99400b78141dc93fc9ba6103/Open-Education_Pressbooks_Cover-Learning-to-Learn-768x994.jpg" />Learning to Learn Online helps you prepare for online learning success by introducing you to the online learning environment and your role as a learner within it.

At times we faced challenges about what or how much to cover, but our primary goal was to make sure this book was as in-depth as the two textbooks we were currently using for our CCJ 230 introduction course. The only way we were willing to undertake this project as if it was as good, or better than the current books students read. We have had very positive feedback about the required textbooks in the course but consistently heard how expensive the books were to buy. We also needed to ensure we met the learning outcomes outlined by SOU for a general education course, as well as the state of Oregon, to make sure this textbook helps students meet those outcomes.
