An established work, the second edition of Principles of Management offers the reader insight and analysis of the principles, processes and practice of management and leadership.

Covering private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, the book also takes an international approach, with a dedicated section on globalised processes and styles of management. The content is broken down into accessible sections to provide a clear and user-friendly book.

Written to meet the criteria of practicality and professionality, the book is relevant and useful with an emphasis on capability, usability, decision and resolution; "fix"; and an orientation towards implementation.
