<p>Linked with the skill development concept, <i>Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills </i>emphasizes the concept of Self-Management. Principles of Self-Management and related concepts are scattered throughout the text including self-awareness, perceptions, values, emotions, stress in addition to a specific integrated treatment of Self-Management. <i>Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills</i> provides a unique perspective by devoting an entire chapter (Chapter 3) to the concept of Self-Management. The principles and concepts are woven through the remaining chapters. This emphasis on Self-Management provides a practical, unique, and contemporary framework for the skill development sections. <i>Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills</i> will establish a framework for Self-Management as a way to provide a theoretical foundation for integrating skill development with traditional approaches focusing on research-based knowledge and application. The underlying approach to <i>Management: Linking Knowledge and Skills</i> is integration of research findings and applications (knowing about the field of management) with skill development (knowing how to do specific management tasks). This approach covers not only the knowledge-acquisition principles present in most textbooks but also the skill-development principles that are frequently covered through supplementary materials. </p>
