Abstract
THERE ARE FOUR PRIMARY TYPES OF QUESTIONS IN THE MANUAL: COMPLETION, TRUE-FALSE, MULTIPLE CHOICE AND ESSAY. THE INSTRUCTOR THUS HAS A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF TEST TECHNIQUES FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE. BECAUSE THE TEXT USES AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH WHICH IS PURPOSELY BROAD IN SCOPE, THE QUESTIONS PRESENTED IN THE MANUAL ATTEMPT TO MEASURE HOW WELL THE STUDENT COMPREHENDS GENERAL MANAGERIAL CONCEPTS, TERMS, AND PRACTICES AS THEY APPLY TO POLICE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE MANAGEMENT. TO BETTER PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE EXAMINATIONS WHICH INCORPORATE QUESTIONS FROM THIS MANUAL, THEY SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO REVIEW AND RESPOND TO THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS WHICH ARE PRESENTED AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF EACH CHAPTER IN THE TEXT. QUESTIONS COVER THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: MANAGEMENT'S ROLE IN THE POLICE ORGANIZATION, MANAGEMENT THEORY, RESEARCH METHODS IN MANAGEMENT, FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ORGANIZATION, BEHAVIOR AND MOTIVATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL, GROUP INFLUENCES AND INFORMAL ORGANIZATION, LEADERSHIP, ORGANIZATION DESIGN, JOB DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, DEVELOPING AND TRAINING HUMAN RESOURCES, PLANNING FOR ORGANIZATION CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT, AND POLICE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE.
