摘要：From Teacher to Manager sets out to increase “awareness of the importance of management” (p. 1), thereby producing more competent managers. The ten chapters cover a range of topics likely to fall into a manager’s job description, everything from corporate cultures (Chapter 2) to managing change (Chapter 9). Very little prior knowledge is expected on the part of readers so each chapter defines and exemplifies key terms like marketing mix, benchmarking, STEP, break-even analysis and continuing professional development. There is no glossary but the index could be used to look up unfamiliar concepts. In each chapter, three features designed to make reading more active punctuate the discussion. First, vignettes or case studies apply the theory to real-world scenarios. Second, reflection boxes offer a brief opportunity to react to the text. Third, tasks are more developed activities to assess and apply your knowledge. When applicable, a model answer is provided for the tasks in an appendix.
