Essentials of Management is written for newcomers to the field of
management and for experienced managers seeking updated information
and a review of the fundamentals. It is also written for the many
professionals and technical people who work closely with managers and
who take their turn at performing some management work. An example
would be the member of a cross-functional team who is expected to
have the perspective of a general manager. Based on extensive research
about curriculum needs, the design of Essentials of Management addresses
itself to the needs of introductory management courses and supervision
courses offered in educational settings.
