Marketing information

Readership

This text is written for those studying management for the first time. Written in an accessible style and illustrated with a wide variety of diagrams and examples, it encourages its audience to engage in a critical discussion of key themes and concepts of management.

The second edition

The text retains all the strengths of the first edition within a more concise and refined structure. The foundations of management, its origins and context, are examined in the light of contemporary themes such as globalisation, social responsibility, quality and enterprise.

Practical applications and examples taken from many sectors, nations and organisational sizes and types both illustrate and challenge taken-for-granted management assumptions and prescriptions.
