This edition of Principles of Management is dedicated to Dr. Mason Carpenter (1961-2011). Mason’s love for and commitment to teaching and research are sorely missed. His original vision for this book lives on in this edition as do many of his words and examples. Working with Mason was a joy and we are lucky to have had the chance to know him and call him a friend, coauthor, and colleague. Thank you, Mason.
