    This new textbook, designed for use in introduction to Management courses, will be of special interest to anyone interested in helping students to address the social and ecological issues they will be facing in their careers. This new textbook describes three approaches to management: 1) Financial Bottom Line (FBL) management focuses on maximizing financial well-being; 2) Triple Bottom Line (TBL) management focuses on maximizing financial well-being via sustainable development; and 3) Social and Ecological Thought (SET) management focuses on enhancing social and ecological well-being ahead of maximizing profits. Learning multiple approaches to management has been shown to improve students' critical and ethical thinking, and to reduce their emphasis on materialism and individualism. The book is affordable ($25 ebook), reader-friendly, and has been very well-received by leading scholars and by students (of whom 5% prefer FBL management, 75% prefer TBL management, and 20% prefer SET management). For more information, and a free desk copy of the ebook, please contact the publisher (sapajo.com) or lead author (bruno.dyck@ms.umanitoba.ca).
