This book is intended as a practical guide for managers in how to conduct an investigation. Understanding that managers are busy people with little time to read detailed text, the authors have stripped out much of the theory to produce a step-by-step guide that can be dipped in and out of, but if followed will help produce a competent and effective investigation.
