The success of any organisation depends directly on effectively making use of human resources. Although the term ‘management’ is often used to refer to a group of people holding executive positions in an organisation, the activity of management is that aspect of their jobs which is primarily concerned with the efforts of the organisation. The real test of our abilities as leaders, managers and team members of an organisation is how effectively we can establish and maintain human organisations for the purpose of achieving results. This book provides an outline of the principles and practice of management, and will be of use to the students of BBA and MBA.
