Now in its Second Edition, Principles of Management by Tony Morden is a proven textbook that offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of management. In addition to explaining the fundamentals, this book now takes the reader to the leading edge of the discipline. The Second Edition contains new material on leadership, trust, stress management, teamwork, the public sector, and knowledge management. It is assumed that in business an international context is now the norm, and Part Five examines global styles of management. Arranged in sharply focused parts and chapters, the text is further broken down into accessible sections. The exposition is clear and reader-friendly. Principles of Management is ideal for use on undergraduate, conversion masters, and MBA courses in business and management. Its accessible structure and style make it highly suitable for modular courses and distance learning programmes, or for self-directed study and continuing personal professional development.
