Easy to read as an e-textbook, but the chapters are too long, with too much information. In class my professor covers the important ideas which aren't dwelled on so much in this book. Plus, she gives us a handout for each chapter with all the info and key ideas we need to know. Waste of $70.

The book provides good overview and some more. It is excellent if you are focusing on communication aspects. I find the general management skills part was more intensely discussed in Developing Management Skills by Whetten.

Great book! It's not heavy at all. I used it for one of my Communication Studies courses.
