About this title

Synopsis

This work takes as its starting point the premise that the raison d'etre of management in the 1990s is the management of change. It looks at areas of management including leadership, organizational culture and human resource management.

From the Back Cover

'Hannagan introduces students to an unrivalled range of useful models, concepts and techniques.'  - Philip McCosker, University College Worcester.

Management 4th edition provides students with a thorough explanation and exploration of management concepts and practices across all management functions. 

The inclusion of topics like managerial decision making, finance, ethical and environmental issues, leadership and globalisation, as well as a new chapter on Public Sector Management, helps students to develop a solid understanding of the way that organisations are managed.  

Written in a straightforward style, the book includes contributions from experts in each field to encourage an appreciation of the most recent ideas and practices, and a travel guide to plan the most effective way to use the book.

Features include:

• Review and Discussion Questions to test your understanding of each chapter
• New case studies and exhibits help you relate the theory to real-life management
• Glossary, learning outcomes and summary points for easy reference and revision
• Annotated weblinks and further reading to help you find additional resources quickly

An ideal introduction for those studying Business or Management in Further or Higher Education, as well as non-specialists taking an introductory course in Management.

'By combining a friendly style with authoritative content and a wide range of practical examples, this book has proved an ideal key text for a wide variety of undergraduate courses.'  - Stuart Wall, Anglia Polytechnic University
