Abstract:
All business entities, from small to larger ones need managers. Smaller business may be managed by a single manager while large and medium- sized may have different levels of management. Currently, all these organisations are facing many challenges due to changes in the business world and working environment. Consequently, contribution of management skills and applications remain vital in the development and management of concerns. This book is a nice piece of work; it has contributed new knowledge and understanding of the important issues in managing organisations by narrating the principles necessary to keep organisational workforce in good practices. The main weakness of this book is its failure to openly show that, management practices, skills and applications are ever changing and that there are exceptions to different principles in their own applications. Issues ranging from different stages of economic development around the world, progressed information technology that has great influence on technological advancement, cultures and the contingency approaches to organisations to mention a few, do differentiate the application of management skills and practices. This book review is very important as it helps readers decide whether or not to read the book. It presents the synopsis of the book and does a critical evaluation of the content and then offers an endorsement, weakness and strength of the book.
