Overview

Seperich and McCalley's textbook identifies the major sources of organizational power, how it can be developed and used—and how it may be abused—depending upon the skill and propensity of the manager or employee involved. Coverage includes the different types of power, how each type can be enhanced and managed to improve productivity, the FOCUS management principles—facilitate, obligate, communicate, urgency, and support—of managing people, and using a "management action plan" in a power management process. Seperich is with the Arizona State U. School of Agribusiness and Resource Management; formerly a marketing instructor at Arizona State U., McCalley is now with a private management firm.
