  Skills of Management is a theory-based but practical approach to general management and managing people in the workplace. The text covers the range of core management expertise that is essential to anyone studying management. It covers strategic issues such as defining the manager 's job, defining managerial objectives and priorities and investigating the organizational context within which managers operate, as well as issues surrounding managerial style, delegation, communication and chairing skills. Written in an accessible and entertaining style, this is an ideal introduction to the practicalities of management for any business student. The new edition has been thoroughly rewritten, in a more textbook style and with more consideration of the cultural aspects of management. It is also supported by a comprehensive website with resources for both students and lecturers.
