ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The
objective of the IMI Handbook of Management is quite straightforward: to help
good managers become even better. Management is neither a science nor an art,
bur rather a combination of these two domains and a role which, of necessity,
draws upon a range to diverse skills, abilities and intelligences.
The Handbook draws together contributions from IMI faculty, covering 20
different aspects of management. The individual authors are all engaged on a
daily basis in the development of practising managers and this grounded,
real-world orientation is evident in the focus of each contributed on the
practical execution of the topic covered.
