Don Hellriegel expresses his appreciation to colleagues at Texas A&M University who collectively create a work environment that nurtures his continued learning and profes- sional development. In particular, the learning environment fostered by Jerry Strawser, Dean, and Murray Barrick, head of the Management Department, is gratefully acknowl- edged. They continue the tradition of supporting a positive and learning-based work environment.
John Slocum acknowledges his colleagues at Southern Methodist University, espe- cially Tom (aka “The Lion”) Perkowski, for their constructive input and reviews. Also, special thanks are extended to Bill Dillon, Associate Dean of the Cox School, for his intellectual support and warm friendship. To all of the executive MBA students who listened to countless stories and wrote cases for this book, John is forever grateful.
John also thanks his golfing group at Stonebriar Country Club (Jack Kennedy, Cecil Ewell, Ed Cox, Wally Schortmann, and Mark Gilbert) for understanding that books do not get written on the fairways or on putting greens.
Finally, we celebrate the 13th edition, some 35 years after the publication of our first edition in 1976. We wish to thank many hundred of reviewers, adopters, students, and our families who have supported the development of these 13 editions for more than three decades. Moreover, Don and John thank each other for being close friends since 1962. We met each other in an industrial relations class during our MBA days at Kent State University in 1962 and are still close and special friends. It’s been a unique and enriching experience for both of us and well as our wives. Don and Lois have raised three girls and now have 13 grandchildren. John and Gail raised three boys and now have seven grandchildren. Most importantly, we are happily married to our wives for more than 45 years.
