Fundamentals of Management: Concepts and Principles is an introductory
text designed for undergraduates in management studies. Focusing
on fundamental management concepts, issues and practices, the book
relates basic management, organisational and leadership theories to the
achievement of organisational excellence, and enables students to appreciate
the complex relationships between an organisation and its stakeholders and
the larger environment of economics, market forces, demographics and
technology. From ethics, globalisation and diversity management to the
impact of organisational structure and culture on company performance,
and from leadership models to organisational politics, Fundamentals of
Management provides students a rigorous foundation in management
studies. Together with experiential exercises, discussion questions and case
studies, the textbook motivates students to tackle situations and concerns
typical in the day-to-day business world efficiently, effectively and creatively.
