Summary

Connect Management ® is available with Kinicki 5e. (0077396588) Connect Management ® is McGraw-Hill’s web-based assignment and assessment platform that connects you and your students to the coursework. Interactive Applications provided for each chapter of the textbook allow instructors to assign application-focused interactive activities, engage students to “do” management, stimulate critical thinking, and reinforce key concepts. Students apply what they’ve learnt and receive immediate feedback. Instructors can customize these activities and monitor student progress. The following 5 types of Interactive Applications were developed for MANAGEMENT based on actual book-specific content.

• Video Case - Video Cases have been designed to engage the student through interactive content that goes beyond basic recall and multiple choice. Contrary to the standard videos on the market which provide a passive learning experience, these videos force students to think critically on the fly and apply and practice chapter concepts.
• Drag and Drop- These fun and interactive drag and drop exercises motivate students to apply concepts within the context of a scenario or case allowing them to think like a manager.
• Self-Assessment - Self-Assessment instruments allow students to test their values, beliefs, skills, and interests in a wide variety of areas allowing them to personally apply chapter content to their own lives and careers. Students receive detailed feedback to support students in developing their personal growth and career plan.
• Decision Generator - This is a great activity as it requires the student to think in ways similar to managers making real decisions on the job and developing strategies.
• Comprehension Case - Comprehension Cases are designed to reinforce comprehension and application of key chapter concepts within the context of a case. Critical thinking questions that bridge the content from the case to the mastery of chapter concepts are included.
