The Practice of Management

"If you read only one book on management," the chairman of one of the world's largest banks tells his officers again and again, "read The Practice of Management."

A classic since its publication in 1954, The Practice of Management was the first book to look at management as a whole and being a manager as a separate responsibilities. The Practice of Management created the discipline of modern management practices. Readable, fundamental, and basic, it remains an essential book for students, aspiring managers, and seasoned professionals.
