Management Principles - A Contemporary Edition For Africa (Paperback, 5th Edition) - P.J. Smit (Edit

The contemporary manager has to integrate new information technology, manage diversity, accommodate stakeholders’ often conflicting claims, deal with the threat that HIV/AIDS poses to the workforce and comply with charters such as the Mining Charter. The list of challenges has become almost endless. As well as exposing the reader to the traditional management functions, namely planning, organising, leading and controlling, Management Principles: A contemporary edition for Africa also deals with the most recent challenges that managers have to face.

As a response to the increasing complexity of the business environment, this book deals with ethical issues in management, corporate governance, strategy maps, the resource-based view of an organisation as well as mentorship and coaching.
