Overview

The 4th edition reflects the importance of leadership in contemporary health care organizations. In addition, the authors have further developed their "map and compass" theme to foster strategic thinking.

New to the fourth edition:
  • each chapter has been fully updated and revised
  • situational analysis and implementation are explicitly tied together through the value chain framework
  • includes 22 case studies, 4 of which are brand-new and 5 have been rewritten
  • PowerPoint artwork, available from this site, offers extra teaching support
The text also rentains the important features that have made previous editions of the book such a success. Each chapter contains:

  • a generous number of examples and exhibits
  • summaries and conclusions
  • key terms and concepts
  • questions for class discussion
  • additional readings
  • appendices that assist readers by presenting ways to analyze health care cases and make oral presentations.
