520			_aHundreds of thousands of students have been exposed to the previous four editions of this text. The message carried by this reception is that the content and coverage appeal to professors and practitioners. The intent of the fifth edition is to retain the basic characteristics of previous editions while adding revisions aimed at increased usefulness and completeness. Changes are of three types: (1) general updating of facts and figures to record events that have transpired since the last edition, (2) structural variations such as the addition of chapter digests and review questions to direct studies, and (3) new material to introduce modern quantitative methods of management and to emphasize recent social environmental concerns. Of equal importance, changes have not subverted the introductory nature nor the breadth of presentation. The book remains a descriptive survey of the strategic factors affecting the total industrial organization and the tactical considerations applicable to day-to-day management.
