The book in its tenth edition has been thoroughly restructured and revised. All the chapters of the present edition have been re-written not only to incorporate the latest developments in management but also to make presentation of subject-matter more lucid and crisp. Chapter 3 of the previous edition (Managers and Environment) has been named as Management Challenges and Opportunities in the present edition so that proper focus is put on these issues. Thus, the present edition is ideally suited to management students as well as management practitioners, particularly those who have not gone through formal management education.

Black & white print. Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well as behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters.

This classic volume achieves a remarkable width of appeal without sacrificing scientific accuracy or depth of analysis. It is a valuable contribution to the study of business efficiency which should be read by anyone wanting information about the developments and place of management, and it is as relevant today as when it was first written. This is a practical book, written out of many years of experience in working with managements of small, medium and large corporations. It aims to be a management guide, enabling readers to examine their own work and performance, to diagnose their weaknesses and to improve their own effectiveness as well as the results of the enterprise they are responsible for.

Management - Principles and Practices-now in its fifth edition-presents a unique, cutting-edge approach to management.
