More specifically, what are some of the key themes, concepts, and principles that you learned when reading this chapter? (This Part should be approximately 2 or 2 ½ pages in length. Summarize your thoughts about what you learned by reading the chapter. Do not type information verbatimdirectly as it is printed in the textbook—type what you learned in your own words.)
Part 2: Management Application—Begin typing your comments on the same line that you type Part 2: In this section, discuss how can managers apply information in this chapter to more effectively perform their jobs, lead with excellence, manage their employees, make decisions, motivate their teams, etc.?
