Principles of Management Essentials You Always Wanted To Know (Second Edition)

This book is for beginners to understand the ABCs of Management. It covers a decent number of topics listed below:

Introduction to Management
Functions of Management
Planning and decision Making
Leaders Vs Managers
Organizational Charts and Structures
Problem Solving
Group Dynamics
Coverting a group to a successful team
Conflict Resolution
Communication
Organizational Culture
Total Quality Management
Operations
People Management
Customer Relationship Management

I would have been happier if the examples were more and included scenarios from different industries. But, for this price point, expecting more may not be fair.

Many of the topics and examples explained are pretty common questions for Lead/Manager level roles.

Amazing value for money and is certainly a great addition to any resource who wants to move up in his/her career.

I have included photos of the cover page, index (table of contents) and few samples pages so that you will get an understanding of how the content is organized and presented.

All the best!

Principles of Management Essentials You Always Wanted To Know (Second Edition)

I got this book to supplement my study materials for my Principles of Management course. It definitely helped me solidify a lot of the key concepts and vocabulary introduced in the course. I gave it 4 stars because there were quite a few typos, and thats a pet peeve of mine-especially when it comes to academic books.
