Principles of Management

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.Contributing AuthorsDavid S.
