Introduction to Management

Up-to-date in content and approach, this comprehensive yet accessible text will be invaluable to all levels of management students, on both competence-based and conventional academic programmes, including business degree courses, single semesters in management and foundation examinations of professional bodies. It will also prove useful for practising managers wishing to update existing skills, since it includes the most recent management concepts, theories and best practice.

The book addresses all of those competencies specified by the Management Charter Initative and indicates them at the beginning of each chapter. The text is extensively illustrated with tables, diagrams and charts for easy access of data and information.
