  9. About the Author

Organisations – both formal and informal – are an integral part of our life. They provide us opportunities for a wide variety of engagement e.g. employment, business, social service, entertainment etc. Unless these organisations are set up in a professional manner, they are likely not only to hamper the progress and development both of the organisation and their personnel but will also defeat the very purpose for which they are set up. This book provides a clear insight into the way organisations function – and must function – in order to achieve their long-term objectives.
